This manual is intended to provide the users an overview of practical aspects related to Wire- lessHART technology. It provides detailed description of factors to consider when designing WirelessHART networks, along with features offered by the AWIN GW100 gateway to assist in evaluating network design. Moreover, the gateway provides information on the functionali- ties offered by the gateway through its web interface which can be used to configure a Wire- lessHART network.
The receipt of technical documentation (in particular user documentation) does not consti- tute any further duty on the part of ABB to furnish information on modifications to products and/or technical documentation. You are responsible to verify the suitability and intended use of the products in your specific application, in particular with regard to observing the ap- plicable standards and regulations.

WIR E L ES SH AR T N E T WOR K TE CH NOL OGY OV E RV IE W Technology Overview WirelessHART Network A WirelessHART network consists of a host; a WirelessHART gateway, network manager, and access point; and one or more WirelessHART field devices and/or adapters. The Wire- lessHART network is described in the HART specifications published by the HART Communi- cation Foundation.
TE CH NOL OGY OV E RV IE W NE T WOR K MA NAG ER From this example it is obvious that, the Burst method results in about half the network traf- fic, freeing the network to take care of other tasks such as keeping track of device configura- tion changes, communicating with joining devices, searching for lost devices, or gathering statistics on the health and stability of the network.

TE CH NOL OGY OV E RV IE W WIR E L ES SH AR T COM MA ND S WirelessHART Commands The WirelessHART capable host, gateway, network manager, access point, adapters and Wire- lessHART field devices all communicate using a set of both standard and device specific HART commands.
BAS IC FE ATU R ES OF AW I N GW 100 G AT EWAY Basic Features of AWIN GW100 Gateway The AWIN GW100 is a WirelessHART gateway. It can connect with up to 24 WirelessHART field devices and convert the HART data to Modbus TCP data for easy integration into almost any ModbusTCP based host system.
The AWIN GW100 is compatible with networks that use a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server for allocating IP addresses. Webserver The AWIN GW100 gateway comes with built-in webserver which allows the user to both con- figure and monitor WirelessHART network. Moreover, advanced diagnostics are also available via the webserver.
Modbus TCP Mapping The AWIN GW100 gateway can function as a protocol converter by mapping the HART com- mand data from the WirelessHART network to Modbus TCP registers. This allows for easy in- tegration of HART data into Modbus TCP host system.
Figure 2: Reset button location Certificates AWIN GW100 holds the following certificates which makes it suitable for installation in haz- ardous areas. For terms and conditions, refer to the actual certificates. For other certificates related to regional compliance and declaration of conformity visit www.abb.com.
20 dB above the receiver sensitivity threshold is sufficient in most sys- tems. AWIN GW100 provide the means for direct measurement of received signal strength us- ing “RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator)” readings available in the gateway’s network statistics webpage.

– The device must not be opened or modified. Do not repair the device yourself; replace it with an equivalent device. Repairs may only be carried out by ABB. The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from violation.
1. Attach the AWIN GW100 to the mounting rail by positioning the keyway at the top of the module onto the mounting rail (see Figure 5). Then rotate the module inward until the DIN rail latch locks the module in place on the rail.
Then place a second end clamp tight up against the right side of the right-most module on the mounting rail. Grounding clips built into the AWIN GW100 module make contact with the upper edge of the DIN rail during installation. This provides a ground path from the DIN rail to the module.
5.2.2 Ethernet connections Connect a CAT5 Ethernet cable between the port on the AWIN GW100 and the network adapter card on your computer. Use either a crossover (C/O) or 1:1 cable as the radio has au- tocross functionality. The cable should not exceed 100 m (329 ft.) in length. Alternatively, an Ethernet switch can be used for connection.
4. Click Use the following IP address button, and enter a desired IP address for the PC, for example, 172.16.16.16 in the “IP address:” field. Note. IP address assigned to the PC must be different to that of the AWIN GW100 gate- way. 5. Enter 255.255.252.0 in the “Subnet mask:”...
