Emerson ControlWave Micro Communication and Processing Functions
The 396563-06-6 CPU Module provides the central execution layer for ControlWave Micro systems. It processes application logic, manages onboard memory resources, and controls communication exchanges between the controller platform and connected devices.
Because the module supports Ethernet, RS-232, and RS-485 interfaces, it enables direct communication with supervisory systems, field devices, and remote I/O networks. The embedded real-time clock supports event timestamping and operational data recording.
For Emerson process control architectures, communication functions can integrate with field instrumentation networks. However, this CPU module does not provide direct 4-20 mA HART input processing, FOUNDATION Fieldbus interface functions, or analog channel isolation hardware. These functions require compatible I/O modules within the ControlWave Micro system.

Field Installation Guidelines
- Install the 396563-06-6 only in compatible Emerson Bristol ControlWave Micro controller chassis.
- Verify the module connector alignment before inserting the CPU board into the chassis.
- Confirm the internal 3.3 VDC supply condition before system startup.
- Separate communication wiring from high-voltage power cables to reduce electrical interference.
- Apply proper shielding and grounding practices for RS-232 and RS-485 communication wiring.
- Configure Ethernet parameters according to the ControlWave Micro application settings.
- Verify firmware compatibility before replacing or upgrading the CPU module.
- Check retained memory operation after module installation and controller restart.
