How to Commission WirelessHART Transmitter With Gateway

 WirelessHART Transmitter With Gateway

This guide is intended to give an idea on how to use 375/475 Field Communicator to configure Rosemount wireless device to be connected to wireless gateway

A Field Communicator is used to configure HART devices.   WirelessHART devices are preconfigured using the same tools and methods used on wired HART devices. However, WirelessHART devices require the additional configuration of the Join Key and Network ID to join the correct wireless network.

A device uses the Network ID to determine which wireless network to join in a large installation spanning multiple process areas.  Once the device has heard one or more neighbors, it uses the Join Key to encrypt the join messages exchanged with the network manager.

The network manager, in turn, authenticates the device and incorporates the device into the network.

The  Field Communicator connects to wireless devices through the devices’ FSK (frequency-shift keying) communication terminals.

The Field Communicator connects directly to the communication terminals on a wireless device.

Once connected, the field communicator automatically polls for connected devices using the selected polling options.

Follow below steps : 


STEP 1 : Plug the Connector set into HART terminal at 375/475


STEP 2 : Clip the other end of Connector to the COMM terminal.

STEP 3 : Insert the Battery module into the dedicated slot
STEP 4 : Power Up the 375/475. Select the “HART” icon and press “Enter” keypad to communicate with the Transmitter

STEP 5 : Please wait until 475 fully load the device DD. Then go to “Configure”
STEP 6 : Go to “Manual Setup”
STEP 7 : Go To “Wireless”

STEP 8 : Go to “Join Device To Network”


STEP 9 : Key in the Network ID. Then press “Enter”. The ID should be the same as configured in Wireless Gateway.

STEP 10 : Key in the 4 parts of the Join Key. Press “Enter” to proceed. The Join Key should be the same as configured in Wireless Gateway.
STEP 11 : Press “Enter” to Accept new join key. The device will attempt to connect with the Wireless Gateway. This may take few minutes.
Note: Depend on the device, the steps may vary. Set to the device lowest burst rate and enable gateway for “Active advertising” to speed up the connection process. The guide is for Rosemount devices

Configuration of Remaining process parameters will be as same as wired HART Transmitters.

Overview : 
In this post, a new wireless device is added to the control system and the measurement it provides is added to a control module.  It is assumed that the wireless gateway has been added to the control system LAN and assigned to the controller.

Step 1: Configure a new wireless device using a field communicator. Enable the burst mode to publish data. Power it on and let it join the wireless network.

Step 2: In the control system explorer view of field devices, open the Reconcile I/O dialog box, find the new device and, drag and drop it to an unused channel.

Step 3: Create a new control module and, assign it to the controller. Add an AI function block and assign its IO_IN to the tag of the channel assigned to the new device.

Step 4: Download the controller.

Step 5: Open the control module online and observe that the value of the AI block periodically updates. The updates come from the burst data of the new device.

What is a Torbar? – Averaging Pitot Tubes

 The Torbar is employed for flow measurement of liquids, gases, or steam in circular, square, or rectangular section ducts for large flow rates. The Torbar is an insertion type multi-port self-averaging primary sensor for flow measurement. Torbar TORBAR is a set of Pitot tubes mounted on a bar across the pipeline with no moving parts. An averaging Pitot tube is a technology, while TORBAR is a manufacturing brand name. There are several brands available in the market with VERABAR, ANNUBAR, etc. Averaging Pitot Tube Principle Purpose Averaging Pitot tube can be employed when the average velocity of the flow profile, rather than the velocity in a specific point in the cross-section is desired. Averaging Pitot Tubes Principle It measures the differential pressure between the static pressure tap and the tap of full pressure of a stream. Thus such magnitude of differential pressure is directly proportional to the square of the flow rate. Working The TORBAR is designed in such a way that ...

Ferrules and Cross Ferruling

 Ferrules are identification labels provided for every wire terminations in an instrument, equipment, or electrical/instrumentation control panels. These tube-shaped sleeves can be inserted easily on each individual wire in a multi-core cable. In earlier days fixed digits/letters are used as ferrules, but now Instrumentation engineers/technicians prints out desired ferrules by using a ferrule printing machine. Typical Ferrule The numbers/ letters on the ferrules will be given as per the approved electrical hook up or loop diagrams. This helps technicians to easily identify a particular loop/wiring from a series of terminal blocks and to troubleshoot the desired terminal connection. Separate numbers on the ferrules distinguish the positive and negative polarities of wires, thus ensure the polarity protection of the instrument. Cross Ferruling  As a wire is connected on its both ends, it is quite useful to use a cross reference method for wire identification. Unlike normal ferru...

Thermowell Insertion and Immersion Length

 The thermowell is the industrial housing for temperature elements like RTD or thermocouple or temperature gauges. Thermowell is directly exposed to process fluid/media. Inside the thermowell, element/gauge is installed. Thermowell transfers the heat to the temperature element. Depending upon the element type, the fluid temperature can be known. So Thermowell protects the temperature element against harsh conditions and process fluid. It enables removal of the temperature element for replacement, repair, or testing without affecting the process system. Generally, thermowells are provided with all-temperature Elements like RTD or Thermocouple or temperature gauge. A few exceptions would be bearing RTD, skin type thermocouple, air duct thermometer, etc where thermowell is not applicable / required. When the thermowell assembly is inserted into the pipe, it is subjected to vibration. This vibration is caused by vortices to be generated alternately on either side of the thermowell. The...
