This manual covers both the hardware – the IEC 62591 Wireless
Interface module for the ControlWave Micro device and the Emerson
™
Wireless 781 Field Link (“Field Link”) and the software you need to
configure and commission the hardware components.
This chapter details the structure of this manual and provides an
overview of the IEC 62591 Wireless Interface and its components.
Note
:
The IEC 62591 Wireless Interface uses open source software.
Refer to
Open Source Software Listing (Form A6330, included
in the same .zip file as this manual) for a complete listing of all
components. Source code is available upon request. You may

Overview
The International Electrotechnical Commission’s 62591 standard
(commonly called WirelessHART
®
) is a global IEC-approved
standard that specifies an interoperable self-organizing mesh
technology in which field devices form wireless networks that
dynamically mitigate obstacles in the process environment. This
architecture creates a cost-effective automation alternative that does
not require wiring and other supporting infrastructure.
Remote Automation Solutions’ IEC 62591 implementation consists of
an IEC 62591 Wireless Interface module installed in a ControlWave
Micro RTU. The module is wired to a field-installed Field Link. The
wiring powers the Field Link and transmits data between the Field Link
and a number of field-installed WirelessHART devices. The
ControlWave implementation supports up to 100 devices. (See
Figure
1-1, which shows a ControlWave Micro, a Field Link, and several
WirelessHART devices).
