Function
SITRANS AW210 WirelessHART Adapter, functional diagram
The measured values and diagnostic information from the
connected field devices with HART communication are trans-
mitted to the WirelessHART adapter over wired connections.
The adapter transmits this information as wireless signals to the
IE/WSN-PA link, the Siemens WirelessHART gateway. The
measured values, all parameters and diagnostic information
about the plant network can be accessed from this gateway.
If a field device with a 4 to 20 mA output signal is connected to
the adapter, the current will be converted to a digital measured
value and transmitted on the basis of a measuring range
specified in SITRANS AW210.
Following configuration and integration into a WirelessHART
network, each WirelessHART adapter is able to recognize its
neighbors. It notes the strength of the wireless signal, synchro-
nizes itself, receives network information and then establishes
connections to its neighbors in the wireless network.
A WirelessHART network organizes itself. Manual settings for
organization are not required.
Two-wire and four-wire field devices can be connected to a
WirelessHART adapter. Either up to 2 or up to 8 HART field
devices can be connected to the adapter, depending on the
selected product version. The adapter either has an external
voltage supply or is loop-powered. The WirelessHART adapter
can therefore also be connected in parallel to an existing instal-
lation consisting of a voltage supply and a HART field device.
Parameter assignment
SITRANS AW210 is configured via HART. Configuration can be
carried out using handheld communicator 475 or, more conve-
niently, with a HART modem and the SIMATIC PDM configuration
software.
Initial startup of the adapter is usually carried out via
SIMATIC PDM and a HART modem or a handheld communica-
tor. During initial startup, the network ID and join key are set in
the adapter. These parameters are used to integrate the adapter
into an existing WirelessHART network.
Following integration into the network, the adapter and
HART devices connected can be conveniently operated via
the WirelessHART network or locally, as detailed above.
Siemens HART field devices for the adapter
In principle, all HART devices certified by the
HART Communication Foundation (HCF) can be operated
with the SITRANS AW210 WirelessHART adapter.
See http://www.siemens.com/automation/service&support
for FAQ with the latest information on connectivity for Siemens
field devices.
Note:
Siemens has only approved the Siemens HART field devices
listed there for the adapter, and will only provide technical
support for these devices.
Based on HART specifications, it is generally possible to
connect devices that are not listed, however with the following
restrictions:
• All warranties and liability will be excluded
• No technical support
