ACCOL III Function Block Library
Speeds Application Development
In addition to the basic functions and function
blocks, ControlWave Designer brings the beneift of
over twenty years of SCADA and plant control expe-
rience in Emerson’s Bristol ACCOL III function block
library. ACCOL III includes over sixty function blocks
valuable for use in oil & gas, water & waste and pro-
cess measurement & control applications. Further,
ACCOL III is designed to take full advantage of the
signicant features offered by ControlWave. Briey,
this library includes function blocks for:
Average, Compare, Totalize
Scheduling & Sequencing
PID & Lead/Lag
AGA gas ow and liquids calculations
Alarming and Historical Storage
File handling
Most of the ACCOL III function blocks offer the
same functionality available to Network 3000 RTUs,
controllers, and ow computers. This greatly simpli-
es migration to ControlWave for existing Network
3000 users. To further provide forward compat-
ibility, the ACCOL Translator converts most ACCOL
functions into ControlWave Designer Structured
Text, thus allowing you to leverage previous ACCOL
development.
Even without previous ACCOL experience, engi-
neers will appreciate the power of ACCOL III for
performing the most common process measurement
and control applications.
Alarm System
One of the most important functions of any process
automation system is to detect and report alarm
conditions. ControlWave Designer with ACCOL
III provides the capability of adding any analog or
logical variable to an alarm function block to detect,
time stamp, store and report analog limit, discrete
status, and change of state alarms.

Unlike most other systems, ControlWave detects,
time stamps and stores alarms locally in the control-
ler rather than at the PC level, ensuring that alarms
are detected even in the event of a communication
failure. Alarms are then reported to the PC once
the communication link is re-established. The Alarm
Record Queue size is congurable. The default is
one hundred alarms. Once full, the oldest alarms
will be maintained with time stamp. New alarms will
be logged but without a time stamp until some of the
older alarm space is freed through reporting. Alarms
are time stamped to 1 ms for internal action and
reported to the PC with a resolution of 20 ms.
The following alarm blocks and types are supported:
Analog Alarm Function Block
Detects High, High-High, Low and Low-Low
alarms
Independent deadbands are provided for high
and low alarms
Alarm reports may be enabled or disabled to
suppress nuisance alarms
Alarm Priority – Event, Operator guide, Non-
critical or Critical
Alarm descriptor text string
Reports single, momentary and multiple alarm
conditions since last report
Discrete Alarm Function Block
Detects selectable On or Off status
Alarm reports may be enabled or disabled to
suppress nuisance alarms
Alarm Priority – Event, Operator guide, Non-
critical or Critical
Alarm descriptor text string
Reports single, momentary and multiple alarm
conditions since last report
Change of State Alarm Function Block
Detects discrete change of state from On to Off
or from Off to On
