IEC 62591 Wireless Interface Instruction Manual (for ControlWave Micro)

Configuration and Commissioning
Revised October-2019
Keep in mind that configuration and commissioning is a two-step
process for
each
device:
▪
One step is to configure each device using Field Tools’ AMS Device
Configurator and a HART modem (or you can use a hand-held
configuration device such as the Emerson 375 or 475 Field
Communicator. During this step you individually add network
information (Network ID, Join Key, and long tag name) to the field-
based wireless device.
▪
The other step is to use ControlWave Designer to program the
ControlWave Micro so it can detect the network and activate (or
“commission”) each device.
3.1 Overview
As indicated previously, a wireless interface network consists of a
number of wireless devices, a Field Link, and an IEC 62591 module
installed in a ControlWave Micro. The IEC 62591 module can
communicate with a maximum of 100 wireless devices; the actual
number allowed for a given application varies depending upon the burst
rate. An eight second burst rate allows the full number of 100 devices, a
faster burst rate, say one second, reduces the number of devices
allowed.
For the configuration and commissioning tasks described in this chapter,
we use a PC running ControlWave Designer.

3.1.1 Configuring Devices and Planning the Network
Before you can use a
Wireless
HART device, you must first configure it.
For this task you may use Field Tools’ AMS Device Configurator and a
HART modem (or you can use a field communicator (such as
Emerson’s 375 or 475 Field Communicator. Ideally, you commission
individual devices at a workbench in a protected environment; although
you can field-commission a device you might add to the network.
