Endress+Hauser WirelessHART Fieldgate SWG70 - Operating Modes

WirelessHART Fieldgate SWG70 Fieldgate configuration
Endress + Hauser 49
8.2.3 Operating Modes
Operating Modes contains a table listing all devices in the WirelessHART network together
with their operation modes.
Whenever a wireless device joins the network, it is automatically inserted into the list, pro-
vided it is not already listed. Wired HART devices connected to a WirelessHART Adapter
(SWA70) are also listed. The list retains all the devices Fieldgate has detected over the life-
time of the network, i.e. if a device is completely removed from the network, it will still be
seen in the list. Such devices can be removed from the Operating Modes list by clicking on
the button which appears next to them.
– Click on Parameter => Wireless Communication => Operating Modes to display
the table.
Parameter Meaning
Long Tag Identifies Fieldgate within the plant network
– For HART 5.0 or less, this is the text in the Message parameter
IO card Indicates the virtual I/O card number to which the device is mapped
Channel Indicates the channel of the virtual I/O card to which the device is mapped
Device Type Displays the device type as registered at the HART Communication Foundation
Status Displays the communication status
– Connected
– Flashing: Device connected, being identified
– Continuous: Device connected but not identified
– Communication failure
Dev. Status Displays the device status
– Good
– Out of specification
– Failure
Note that the device status that is displayed in the list may differ from the actual
device status because the HART status bits may be interpreted differently.
Routing Device Indicates whether the device is allowed to act a routing device.
• To deactivate the routing functionality, deactivate the corresponding check box
in the Routing Device column.
• This option enables you to set up a star network
Fast Pipe Establishes a direct connection to a selected device. The fast pipe connection is
about 4 times faster than a regular connection, which enables you to perform fast
updates.
• Click on the check box to activate the Fast Pipe.
– Note that you can activate the Fast Pipe option for only one device at a time.
Enforce Identification Forces a device to resend its identification, for example if a communication failure
occurred.
Flush Cache Deletes the transmitted values.
Refresh Press this button to reload the operational mode parameters of all network devices
Delete button Devices with no connection can be deleted by pressing the "Delete" button .
