IEC 62591 Wireless Interface Instruction Manual (for ROC800-Series and FloBoss 107)

Configuring Devices and Planning the Network

3-2
As indicated previously, a wireless interface network consists of a
number of wireless devices (up to 60 in a ROC800-based network or up
to 20 in an FB107-based network), a Field Link, and an IEC 62591
module installed in an FB107 or ROC800. For the configuration and
commissioning tasks described in this chapter, we've added a PC
running ROCLINK 800 to Figure 3-1.

Before you can use a WirelessHART device, you must first configure it.
For this task (which is outside the scope of this manual) you may use a
hand-held field communicator (such as Emerson's 375 or 475 Field
Communicator) or Field Tools' AMS Device Configurator. Ideally, you
configure individual devices at a workbench in a protected environment,
although you can field-configure a device you might add to the network.
During the configuration, you identify the Network ID to which the
device eventually belongs and provide the network-specific Join Key
(see Network ID and Join Key).
During configuration, you also give the wireless device a 32-character
tag based on its use or location (such as PUMP1TEMPORARY,
PUMP2WESTPRESSURE, or WELL02NORTHLEVEL). The serial
number for the device provides further identifiers the configuration
software uses. We also suggest you use all capital letters for the tags,
which correlates to the way the system stores this information.
