WirelessHART Fieldgate SWG70 Fieldgate configuration
Endress + Hauser 47
Bandwidth Profile This option allows you to increase network performance by reducing network latency. If bat-
tery power is being used, this option increases energy consumption and reduces battery life.
If a faster response time is more important than battery life, set the profile to medium or
high.
To activate the profile, choose Reform Network in Additional Functions => Reset. See
Chapter 11.1 "Reset" on page 102.
Global Advertising If Global Advertising is activated, the Fieldgate and the network devices issue a series of
identification messages at a rate higher than normal to identify new wireless devices and to
reduce the network join time. The messages are sent until the Global Advertising Timeout
is reached.
As Global Advertising increases energy consumption of the network devices it is recom-
mended that it is activated only when needed, e.g. during the set up of the network.
1. Enter a Global Advertising Timeout (1 ... 255 minutes)
2. Press the Activate Global Advertising button; advertising starts immediately.
8.2.2 Advanced Setup
Channel Blacklist With WirelessHART technology, Fieldgate SWG70 offers users a self-managed and self-
healing wireless network. If several wireless networks are being operated at one location,
the Fieldgate automatically selects the optimum channel assignment. If new networks are
added, the channel assignment is adapted automatically.
Alternatively, you can also configure the channel assignment manually. Note that a WLAN/
Wi-Fi channel based on the IEEE 802.11 standard is wider than a WirelessHART channel
based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The numbering of the channels is different for
WLAN/Wi-Fi and WirelessHART.
Example: If the WLAN uses channel 5, channels 5 to 8 in the WirelessHART network must
be disabled.
