Read the User’s Manual (IM 01W02D01-01EN) of the YFGW410 Field Wireless Management Station (hereafter simply refered to as YFGW410) before reading this document. The YFGW520 Field Wireless Access Point (hereafter simply refered to as YFGW520) is a core component of field wireless networks based on ISA100.11a, a wireless communication standard for industrial automation.
FA0202.ai Figure A2-1 Minimum configuration Figure A2-2 YFGW520-redundant configuration Figure A2-1 shows the minimum configuration with a single YFGW520, and Figure A2-2 shows the YFGW520-redundant configuration supported the Duocast technology (each field wireless device communicates with two YFGW520s). The field wireless backbone network consists of the YFGW410, the YFGW520 and the YFGW610.
Page 15
Figure A2-3 YFGW410/YFGW520-redundant configuration Figure A2-3 shows the YFGW410/YFGW520-redundant system configuration. The Layer 2 switch between YFGW410 and YFGW520 must support the rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP) to prevent network loops, and the IEEE1588v2 (precision time protocol). For recommended Layer 2 switches, see the User’s Manual of YFGW410 (IM 01W02D01- 01EN).
As shown above, the functions of the field wireless backbone interface differ depending on model. YFGW520 with the 100BASE-FX model is equipped with a media converting board for metal network/optical fiber network. The metal network cable and optical fiber network cable cannot be used at the same time.
Figure B2-1 Front view of YFGW520 The ISA100.11a antenna can be directly mounted on the connector, or remotely connected by using an extension cable. YFGW520 does not have any switches or buttons that can be mechanically operated from the outside of the housing. IM 01W02E02-01EN...
