You can do the following:
● Configure communication between the WirelessHART adapter and the connected field
device and to a WirelessHART network.
● Adapt properties of the connected field device relating to communication with the
WirelessHART adapter.
● Adapt the power supply from the WirelessHART adapter to achieve a long working life for
the installed battery.
Note
Parameter assignment recommendation
The adapter supports the connection of devices and configuration tools using different
terminals.
In case of wire-bound parameter setting, the adapter may switch to other terminals so that
communication with the adapter can be briefly interrupted. This effect occurs in the following
cases:
● The adapter searches for newly connected devices
● Information about a connected device will be queried wired or wireless.
It may become necessary to establish the connection again, depending on the used
configuration tool.
We recommend that you proceed as follows to prevent this behavior:
1. Configure the adapter basically for wireless communication, for example, with the quick
start wizard in SIMATIC PDM.
2. Make additional configuration settings wireless using a WirelessHART Gateway.

Identification
Here, you can configure the parameters required to identify the WirelessHART adapter. The
default settings are shown in the relevant input boxes.
The following list contains information about the structure of these input boxes and the format
in which you can enter information in these boxes:
Parameter
Meaning
Example
Default
Long TAG
ASCII string with a maximum of 32 characters.
● Used to identify the WirelessHART adapter
in the network
AW001
TAG
String with a maximum of 8 characters.
● Used to identify the adapter in the network
● Only a limited character set can be used:
@ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T
U V W X Y Z [ \ ] ^ _ blank ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + ,
- . / 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; < = > ?
● In many plants, this identifies the location
and the function of the field device.
