Network structures
3.1
Setting up network structures
Note
To make optimum use of the WirelessHART network, a site survey of the WSN network
under local conditions is a must.
Where possible, mount the Link or the external antenna of the Link at a location where a
connection to several WirelessHART devices is possible.
To achieve ideal illumination, we recommend that each network node should have at least
two neighbors.
Overview
This chapter discusses ways to ensure good performance and security in the WirelessHART
network. After commissioning the network, the connections should be checked and choke
points in the network eliminated. If expansions to the network become necessary, they
increase the span and reliability of the network.
This chapter lays out guidelines to increase and ensure the security of the network.
Verify connections
A good connection should have the following characteristics:
● Data reliability > 99%
● Data latency < 3 times the update rate
● Battery life > desired life span at fastest update rate. Note the information from the field
device vendor.
● The Radio Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) in the Link diagnostics is helpful. This check
is listed last because it can be misleading on its own (weak signals can still get through if
the path is stable), but it can help to identify a problems when they arise.
Choke points in the network
Next, identify choke points in the network. If messages from several devices all have to pass
through a single device on their way to the Link, this may lead to a choke point in the
available bandwidth.
This does not happen often because of the redundant communication paths in most selforganizing networks. The solution is simply to add additional devices near the device that
represents the choke point to provide more communication paths.

Operating Instructions, Release 02/2010, C79000-G8976-C240-02
13
Network structures
3.1 Setting up network structures
Note
Identification of choke points in the network should be performed 24 hours after all the
devices have joined the network. This will allow the network to stabilize and optimize itself.
Impenetrables
A typical plant includes plenty of potential impenetrables, such as buildings, dense piping,
concrete walls and long distances. The diagram below shows how impenetrables affect
signal strength.
Fig. 3-1
At any layer, increasing distance can also weaken signals. In general, if impenetrables
disrupt direct transmission between WirelessHART sensors, simply add additional devices to
provide alternative communication paths around the obstacle.
Expanding the network
The network itself senses that a device has joined the network and routing algorithms in the
devices and Link automatically find the best path to the destination. The only limitation is the
amount of traffic that can be handled by each Link and by the devices.
This capability makes not only large-scale additions easy, but also allows the addition of
single devices to meet short-term needs. You can even install a device temporarily to find
out whether a permanent installation would make an improvement.
Note
Depending on the size of the network and the number of nodes, adding a node may take
several minutes.

Commissioning the Link
Note
Order of powering up
The power supply of the WirelessHART field devices should not be turned on before the
IE/WSN-PA Link is installed and working correctly. WirelessHART field devices should be
powered up in the order of their distance to the IE/WSN-PA Link starting with the nearest
device to the Link. This strategy will allow the wireless sensor network to form faster.

depending on the configuration of the Link. If floating-point representation is selected, each
floating-point value is returned as 2 linked registers that together produce a floating-point
value with single accuracy.

Configuring the Modbus mapping of status and process values
The following paragraphs explain the mapping of parameters to Modbus registers. Examples
illustrate the mapping of device status values as integer registers or as discrete registers and
the mapping of process and status values is described.
Device tags for Modbus mapping
The Link provides numerous parameters for mapping to Modbus RTU/TCP and OPC. Both
the OPC interface used for mapping and the Modbus interface contain only some of the data
points used most frequently to accelerate the user interface.
Mapping the additional device status and standardized status to Modbus registers
The additional and the standardized status of a device can be mapped to Modbus registers
in two ways. On the one hand, you can map to standard integer analog input registers. On
the other, you can map the individual bits to the relevant bytes of registers for discrete
inputs.
The parameter tags for these bits are ADDITIONAL_STATUS_0 –
ADDITIONAL_STATUS_N, where N depends on the number of status bytes supported by
the device and on STANDARDIZED_STATUS_0 – STANDARDIZED_STATUS_3.
Other status tags such as EXTENDED_STATUS (Maintenance required, Device variable
alert) and STATUS_CODE (Device malfunction, Cold start) are also available.
The bit masks required to map individual status bits to discrete Modbus registers can be
found in the "HART Common Tables" specification or in the documentation of the particular
field device.
The standard parameter mapping "DEVICE_TAG.PARAMETER" is used for the Link. For
this reason, the device tag must first be specified before correct register mapping is possible.
When mapping discrete registers, the "State" field (see Fig. 4-2) is also used to enter the bit
mask that is applied to the parameter and that generates the discrete value. The "Invert" field
(see Fig. 4-2) is used to invert the bit (conversion 0 → 1 and 1 → 0), as may be required by
the logic of the user program.

4.3 Configuration of the Link
Fig. 4-2
Status mapped to an analog input
In the example of Fig. 4-2, bit 0 of STANDARDIZED_STATUS_0 is mapped to a discrete
register. This corresponds to the bit for "simulation active" of STANDARDIZED_STATUS_0.
Other single status bits can be mapped to registers for discrete inputs in the same way.
Fig. 4-3 shows an example of a Modbus client that reads the discrete inputs of the
"STANDARDIZED_STATUS_0" status (simulation active).

Dynamic device variables and device status
The dynamic variables and the status of a device can also be mapped to Modbus registers.
Here, the status of the dynamic variables can be mapped to an analog input register or to an
analog holding register. The floating-point value of the dynamic variables can either be
mapped as a floating-point value to two analog holding registers at the same time or using

scaling of the register to a single analog holding register. There is also an option of mapping
the variable status mixed with the floating-point values or separate from them to another
register section such as the registers for analog inputs.
You will find an example of this in Fig. 4-2. This option allows maximum flexibility for the
different register mappings of host systems. Fig. 4-4 shows an example of a Modbus RTU
client, that first reads out a mixed register map of floating-point values of a dynamic variable
followed by the status value etc.

Fig. 4-4
Example of a Modbus client that reads the variables "PV" and "PV_STATUS"
Here, the standard parameter mapping "DEVICE_TAG.PARAMETER" of the Link is used.
For this reason, the device tag must first be specified before correct register mapping is
possible.
The default dynamic variables for floating-point values are PV, SV, TV and QV. The device
variables can, however, also be mapped according to the variable number. These are
followed by the status values as PV_STATUS, SV_STATUS, TV_STATUS and
QV_STATUS. These values are unsigned single byte values and they must be mapped to a
single analog input register or a single analog holding register.

Electromagnetic fields and health
The independent German Commission on Radiological Protection was commissioned by the
German Federal Ministry for the Environment to determine the possible thermal and nonthermal dangers posed by electromagnetic fields in the range from 0 Hz to 300 GHz
according to current scientific knowledge and came to the following conclusion in issue 29
(see References):
216H
"The German Commission on Radiological Protection concludes that according to the latest
scientific literature no new scientific research is available with respect to proven health
hazards which would throw doubt upon the scientific evaluation which serves as the basis for
the ICNIRP safety concepts and the recommendations of the EU commission."
The SSK also concludes that below the current limit values, these is also no scientific
suspicion of health risks.
This assessment agrees with those of other national and international scientific commissions
and of the WHO (www.who.int/emf).
92H
Accordingly and in view of the fact that WirelessHART devices are significantly below the
scientifically established limit values, it can be assumed that there are no health risks from
the electromagnetic fields of WirelessHART products.

HART
Highway Addressable Remote Transducer is a standardized and widely used
communications system for setting up industrial fieldbuses. It allows digital communication of
multiple nodes (field devices) over a common data bus. HART is based on the widespread 420 mA standard (for transmission of analog signals). Existing cables of older systems can be
used directly and both systems operated parallel to each other. HART was developed in the
1980's by the Rosemount company for their field devices. In 1989, the HART standard was
initiated by the HART Communication Foundation (HCF). HART Communication Foundation
in Europe is based in Basle (Switzerland).

IP (TCP/IP)
Internet Protocol
The IP protocol alone is connectionless and not allowed. The most important information is
the unique IP address. Blocks of data are sent to the target computer independent of each
other. Putting them in the right order is responsibility of  TCP.
IP address
An IP address consists of a numeric code with four numbers between 0 and 255 (4 bytes),
separated by a dot, for example 192.168.0.55. It is the numeric address of a particular
computer in the network / Internet.
Join key
Hexadecimal code that connecting devices to the Link. This code must be identical in the
device and the Link.
Network
The portion of the network that the device resides on.
Network ID
Numeric code that links devices to the Link. This code must be identical in the device and
the Link.
Server
A server is a device or more generally an object, for example, a software program that can
provide certain services. The service is provided at the request of a client.
Services
Services provided by a communication protocol.
SIMATIC

Subnet mask
The subnet mask specifies which part of an IP address is used as the subnet address. In a
class B network(subnet mask 255.255.0.0), the first two fields of an IP address (for example
150.215 in the IP address 150.215.17.9) represent the subnet.
