Function and system design WirelessHART adapter SWA70
14 Endress+Hauser
3 Function and system design
The WirelessHART adapter is a smart wireless module that connects HART and 4 to 20 mA
field devices to a WirelessHART network. The WirelessHART adapter sends the
measurement and diagnostics information acquired from the field device to the
WirelessHART Fieldgate in the form of radio signals. The Fieldgate receives this information
and makes it available in the system network.
Fig. 3-1: WirelessHART network
The WirelessHART network is self-organizing. After installation and configuration, every
WirelessHART adapter is able to recognize its neighbors. It detects the strength of the radio
signal, receives frequency, timing and path information, and then establishes a connection
to neighbors in the wireless network. In this way, the network is organized without the need
for the user to make any settings.
The standard version of the WirelessHART adapter has a plastic housing, and the
hazardous-area version (Ex version) is available with either an aluminum housing, steel
316L or plastic housing. If a field device is connected to an Ex version, it too must have an
appropriate approval for use in hazardous areas (Ex approval).
The WirelessHART adapter can be powered in one of three ways: with a battery unit, a wide
range power unit, or a DC power unit. The field device can be powered either via the power
supply of the WirelessHART adapter or via a separate DC voltage power unit or remote I/O.
Two-wire and four-wire field devices can be connected.
The WirelessHART adapter can also be used as a repeater. In this case, the adapter does not
supply power to any field device.

4 Installation
4.1 Overview
The WirelessHART adapter can be installed mechanically in three different ways:
• Directly on the field device
• At a distance from the field device, but connected by a cable (remote mounting)
• As a repeater, i.e. without a field device
Various replaceable connection adapters can be screwed onto the cable entry of the
WirelessHART adapter depending on the use and the field device connection.
Depending on the order, the following installation accessories may be supplied with the
WirelessHART adapter:
• Connection adapter for mounting on a field device with M20 connection
• Connection adapter for mounting on a field device with G 1/2 connection
• Connection adapter for mounting on a field device with NPT 1/2 connection
• Connection adapter for mounting on a field device with NPT 3/4 connection
• Cable gland for remote mounting with a cable
• Mounting bracket as an accessory for mounting on a wall or pipe
4.2 Installation conditions
The WirelessHART adapter is approved for use in locations exposed to weather conditions.
See the Technical Information document for "WirelessHART Adapter SWA70" (TI00026S).
Note!
In order to avoid attenuation of the electromagnetic waves and any resulting impairment in
the operation of the WirelessHART adapter, the following must be observed when mounting
the adapter:
• When mounting the adapter at a distance from the field device (remote mounting), the
antenna must be at least 6 cm away from a wall or post.
• The antenna of the WirelessHART adapter should never be located between a wall/post
and the housing.
• There must be a distance of at least 6 cm between the antenna and any metal material
running parallel to it.
• Align the antenna so that it is completely vertical.
• If multiple WirelessHART adapters are used, ideally there should not be any walls or
similar constructs between the adapters in order to guarantee an optimum wireless
network.
4.3 Positioning the SWA70
Install the WirelessHART gateway first, before installing other WirelessHART devices. This
way you can check for proper operation of new devices as they are installed. Nevertheless,
consider the location of future WirelessHART devices that will be routed through the
WirelessHART gateway to ensure good connectivity.
Guidelines for Planning a WirelessHART Network
• A line-of-sight between communication partners always is desirable. If a line-of-sight is
not possible, the obstacles should not be massive and the partners should be more to the
edge of an obstacle to allow the wave to "bend" around it (diffraction effect).
• Install wireless devices at least 1m above the ground.
• Make sure that the device's antenna is aligned vertically for best results.
• Make sure that a minimum of 2 other WirelessHART devices are well within the antenna
range of the device.
NOTE

• Do not position WirelessHART devices directly below or above each other. They would be
outside each other's antenna range.
• Install WirelessHART devices at least 1 m away from each other.
• Antennas must be at least 6 cm away from any wall or any metallic material running
parallel to it.
• Position the device as far away as possible from metal surfaces or walls containing metal.
There should be as little metal close to the device as possible.
• Do not position other 2.4 GHz devices like cordless phone bases or WLAN routers near
WirelessHART devices. Keep in mind other wireless networks using the same frequency
spectrum (WLAN, Bluetooth, etc.). Wireless technologies used in an industrial
environment must be able to coexist without disrupting each other.
4.4 Protection against lightning
Take the following measures to protect the WirelessHART adapter from a lightning strike:
• Do not mount the WirelessHART Adapter at the highest point in the plant.
• WirelessHART Adapter with metal housing: connect protective ground to protective
ground connection of the housing. The protective ground connection is located on the
inside and outside of the housing. Protective ground in 2.5 mm2.

4.7 Remote mounting
Remote mounting - where the field device and adapter are mounted at a distance from one
another - can be required in various situations, such as when:
• There is not enough space to mount the adapter on the field device.
• Signal reception at the field device is too weak for correct operation.
• The field device is subject to vibration above the recommended limit.
The WirelessHART adapter can be mounted on a wall, post or other object using the "wall/
pipe mounting bracket". In this case, the WirelessHART adapter and the field device are
connected via a connecting cable and cable glands.
The "wall/pipe mounting bracket" and the cable glands are accessories. The connecting cable
is not included in the scope of delivery.
