Emerson Control Wave 396560-01-6 Bristol Babcock Micro Chassis

Description

The Emerson Control Wave 396560-01-6 Bristol Babcock Micro Chassis is part of the versatile Control Wave Micro series, a hybrid industrial controller integrating PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) functions for use in oil and gas, water and wastewater treatment, and general industrial control applications. Built with a low-power ARM processor, it delivers high performance while minimizing energy consumption. The chassis supports flexible I/O expansion, with compatible base and extension chassis options in 2-slot, 3-slot, 4-slot, and 8-slot configurations, plus mixed I/O cards for cost-effective small-scale RTU deployments. It features up to two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and up to 11 serial communication ports with optional built-in modem support. Key safety and reliability features include compliance with IEC 61508 SIL 2 standards, a mean time to dangerous failure (MTTFd) of no less than 100 years, hardware fault tolerance (HFT) of 1, and dual-channel redundant output support. Each output channel has an integrated self-resetting PPTC fuse for overcurrent/overvoltage protection. Additional highlights include IEC 61131-3 programming compatibility, ACCOL III process control function block libraries, a security key lock for unauthorized access prevention, a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 70 degrees Celsius, and Class I Division 2 hazardous location certification.
