WIR ELES SHART N ET WORK TE CHNO LOGY OVERVIE W Technology Overview WirelessHART Network A WirelessHART network consists of a host; a WirelessHART gateway, network manager, and access point; and one or more WirelessHART field devices and/or adapters. The Wire- lessHART network is described in the HART specifications published by the FieldComm Group.
T ECHN OLOGY OVERVI EW NETWORK MA NAGER Burst: Message 1: Field device publishes pre-configured message data such as a primary variable or loop current to the Host on a fixed interval. From this example it is obvious that, the Burst method results in about half the network traf- fic, freeing the network to take care of other tasks such as keeping track of device configura- tion changes, communicating with joining devices, searching for lost devices, or gathering statistics on the health and stability of the network.
WIR ELES SHART F I ELD D EV ICE TE CHNO LOGY OVERVIE W connected to the network. Given this logic, devices could be one or more hops from the ac- cess point as long as they have neighbors (or their neighbors have neighbors) which can communicate directly with the access point.

WirelessHART Commands The WirelessHART capable host, gateway, network manager, access point, adapters and Wire- lessHART field devices all communicate using a set of both standard and device specific HART commands.

BA SI C FEAT URES O F A WI N G W1 00 REV .2 Network Connectivity AWIN GW100 rev.2 has built-in four ports. Any one of the ports P1-P4 can be connected to an Ethernet switch. The switch can be part of a host network. A typical host system on the net- work can be a PLC or Automation controller using ModbusTCP protocol to communicate to the gateway.

3.9.5 EU Declaration of Conformity EU Declaration of conformity can be found in document ID 4JNO000322. This document can be found at abb.com. 3.9.6 FCC Compliance This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital de- vice, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
20 dB above the receiver sensitivity threshold is sufficient in most systems. AWIN GW100 rev.2 provide the means for direct measurement of received signal strength using “RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator)” readings available in the gateway’s network statistics webpage.

– The AWIN GW100 rev.2 is snapped onto a standard rail within a control cabinet or switch box. Power is supplied via power plug. The control cabinet or switch box must comply with the specifications of EN 60950-1:2001 with respect to fire enclosure.
Modules are installed from left to right on the mounting rail. Install modules to mounting rail as described in the following steps. 5. Attach the AWIN GW100 rev.2 to the mounting rail by positioning the keyway at the top of the module onto the mounting rail (see Figure 5). Then rotate the module in- ward until the DIN rail latch locks the module in place on the rail.
MAK I NG CONNE CTI ONS AND P OWER I NG UP 6. Continue attaching any other module(s) to the mounting rail as described in Step 1. ABB recommends the use of end clamps to prevent modules from sliding left and right on the mounting rail.
5.2.2 Ethernet connections Connect a CAT5 Ethernet cable between the port on the AWIN GW100 rev.2 and the network adapter card on your computer. Use either a crossover (C/O) or 1:1 cable as the radio has au- tocross functionality. The cable should not exceed 100 m (329 ft.) in length. Alternatively, an Ethernet switch can be used for connection.
Configuring a PC to communicate with AWIN GW100 rev.2 WirelessHART Gateway 1. Connect the AWIN GW100 rev.2 to an Ethernet network using a CAT5 cable plugged into the RJ45 socket (P1 port). 2. Go to the Network Connections dialog box, and then click Local Area Connections button.

AWIN GW100 rev.2 gateway. 6.6.1 Security Two methods of security are available in a WirelessHART network created by AWIN GW100 rev.2. Accept Common Join Key The Common Join Key security method uses a single, common key value entered in all Wire- lessHART devices and the AWIN GW100 rev.2 gateway.
The Device ID is used for addressing the device via Modbus TCP. Devices connected to Wire- lessHART adapters appear below the adapter and do not have a MAC address. Network reliability is a measure of the percentage of packets received by the AWIN GW100 rev.2 divided by the total packets on the network.
