Function and system design

WirelessHART WirelessHART adds wireless capabilities to the HART protocol, while guaranteeing compatibility with
existing HART devices, commands and tools.

A WirelessHART network comprises:

• WirelessHART field devices
• Wired field devices with a connected WirelessHART Adapter
• Fieldgate

The WirelessHART protocol may not be used to replace the wiring in the case of safety applications
with a control function.

WirelessHART Fieldgate The WirelessHART Fieldgate SWG70 acts as an interface between the WirelessHART network and a
SWG70 system that has an Ethernet or RS-485 connection.

The WirelessHART Fieldgate SWG70 supports the following functions:

• Wireless network configuration and management
• Acquisition of data from the field devices and presentation to connected systems
• MODBUS, HART, HART-IP, OPC and EtherNet/IP support for system integration
• Configuration of network, Fieldgate and field devices via Web interface or FDT/DTM.

Fieldgate is designed for installation in hazardous areas Zone 2. You can mount the antenna directly
on the Fieldgate or remotely depending on the requirements of the application.

System design The WirelessHART Fieldgate stores information received from the WirelessHART Adapter SWA70
or other WirelessHART field devices in a buffer which can be accessed by a host application via an
Ethernet or RS-485 connection. The figure shows a Fieldgate operating in a typical meshed Wire-
lessHART network architecture.

Operating conditions
Application range The Fieldgate SWG70 serves as a gateway for WirelessHART networks.

The WirelessHART protocol may not be used to replace the wiring in the case of safety applications
with a control function.

Installation conditions
Installation instructions Location: Avoid mounting the WirelessHART Fieldgate near a pipe or high-voltage equipment
wherever possible.
Where possible, the WirelessHART Fieldgate should be in radio contact with at least
20 % of all wireless field devices or adapters.
Under typical conditions, the maximum spacing is 250 m outdoors and 50 m indoors.
Installation: A remote antenna can be mounted outside a cabinet.
Orientation: With vertical antenna.
Protection If there is a risk of lightning, install suitable antenna accessories. See “Accessories” on
against page 7.
lightning: Connect the protective ground to the protective ground connection of the Fieldgate
housing. The minimum cross-section of the protective ground is 2.5 mm2.
Hazardous Fieldgates with the appropriate certification (see ordering information) can be

Accessories
Antenna accessories Note the following when selecting accessories for the antenna:

• The Ex approval for Fieldgate SWG70 is only valid for the 2 dBi antenna supplied.
• The antenna must comply with the rules for the usage of 2.4 GHz equipment that apply in the
country of installation. In case of doubt, please contact a regional expert for radio approvals.
• The gain is calculated from the difference in the antenna gain and the losses of the individual
components such as the cables and surge arrester. The gain may not exceed the 2 dBi limit.
• The WirelessHART range of the Fieldgate SWG70 depends on the coaxial cable used (attenuation)
between the Fieldgate and the antenna.
