This manual cover both the hardware – the IEC 62591 Wireless
Interface module for the Series 2 ROC800-Series device, the IEC 62591
Wireless Interface module for the FloBoss
Emerson™ Wireless 781 Field Link ("Field Link") and the software you
need to configure and commission the hardware components.
: The IEC 62591 Wireless Interface uses open source software.
Note
Refer to Open Source Software Listing (Form A6330, included
in the same .zip file as this manual) for a complete listing of all
components. Source code is available upon request. You may

This chapter details the structure of this manual and provides an
overview of the IEC 62591 Wireless Interface and its components.
The International Electrotechnical Commission's 62591 standard
(commonly called WirelessHART
standard that specifies an interoperable self-organizing mesh
technology in which field devices form wireless networks that
dynamically mitigate obstacles in the process environment. This
architecture creates a cost-effective automation alternative that does
not require wiring and other supporting infrastructure.
Remote Automation Solutions IEC 62591implementation consists of an
IEC 62591 Wireless Interface module installed in a Series 2 ROC800-
Series or FB107 device. The module is wired to a field-installed Field
Link. The wiring powers the Field Link and transmits signals between
the Field Link and a number of field-installed WirelessHART devices.
(Figure 1-1 shows a ROC809, a Field Link, and several WirelessHART
devices). The ROC800 implementation supports up to 60 devices at a 4-
second communications rate, while the FB107 implementation supports
up to 20 devices at a 2-second communications rate. Refer to the
product data sheets for each device for additional device/communication
rate values.
