WirelessHART Fieldgate SWG70 3 Function and System Design Function and System Design WirelessHART protocol The HART protocol has until now used the wired 4–20mA loop with a superimposed digital signal as as physical layer. Although full digital communication is available in multidrop mode, the majority of transmitters are connected to analog I/O cards and digital communication is used only for parametrization, diagnosis and maintenance purposes.
3 Function and System Design WirelessHART Fieldgate SWG70 WirelessHART network Fieldgate SWG70 is the master device in the WirelessHART network. Acting as network manager, it recognizes other devices wanting to join the network. It makes contact with each in turn and initiates the procedures required for them to join.
WirelessHART Fieldgate SWG70 3 Function and System Design Connection to host applications Fieldgate SWG70 also makes wireless communication accessible to HART-capable host systems via its Ethernet or serial interfaces through the following functions. 3.3.1 Instrument List WirelessHART devices in the network are made available to host systems via an instrument list. This list contains one or more I/O cards.
3 Function and System Design WirelessHART Fieldgate SWG70 3.3.2 Caché The WirelessHART gateway stores information received over the WirelessHART network and makes it available to the host for further processing. This ensures that information is available immediately for the host system without having to send a request to the device and wait for the response.
