Power over Ethernet
This Gateway is equipped with PoE technology to allow it to source power to a compatible device over
the connecting Ethernet cable (PSE mode) or derive its power from another PoE device via the Ethernet
connection (PD mode). This device complies with the IEEE 802.3at-2009 standard for PSE operation and
IEEE 802.3af-2003 or IEEE 802.3at -2009 for PD operation. These standards require the use of Category 5
Ethernet cable or higher.
In the operation of IEEE 802.3a, PoE power is only transmitted from one device to another when the
proper impedance match is made. This prevents damage to non PoE devices on the network. In the
Gateway, power is transmitted in passive mode over two unused differential pairs of the Ethernet cable.
To use this feature, the Gateway must be connected over the Ethernet to a matching IEEE 802.3a device.
Failure to do this will cause no power to be sent or sourced.
A set of switches on the power supply board allow the selection of the specific Ethernet port for PoE and
the selection of whether it is a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) sourcing power or a PD (Powered
Device) deriving its power from another IEEE 802.9 PSE device. See Figure 2-3 for the switch diagram
required for PoE configuration.
Note
The Gateway can either source or receive power over an Ethernet port; it cannot do both at the same
time.
If using the Gateway as a PSE, the total additional power requirements of the PD must be factored into
the total input power requirements of the power supply for the Gateway. It is recommended that the
power selection mode switch be left in the PD position unless PSE is needed.

Note
IEEE 802.3af-2003 PoE standard provides up to 15.4 W of DC power (minimum 44 V DC and 350 mA) to
each device. Only 12.95 W is assured to be available at the powered device as some power is dissipated in
the cable.
IEEE 802.3at-2009 PoE standard also known as “PoE+” or “PoE plus”, provides up to 25.5 W of power. The
2009 standard prohibits a powered device from using all four pairs for power.
For more information on PoE and frequently asked questions, refer to Emerson Wireless 1420 Gateway
with Power over Ethernet Technical Note
or “Power over Ethernet (PoE)” on page 21.
In order to use both ports for PoE, remember to order option code “2” when selecting number of

Time settings
Configuration
July 2017
The Gateway is the timekeeper for the WirelessHART network, so it is imperative that the Gateway’s time
is accurate for timestamp data to be meaningful. Time settings can be found by navigating to
System Settings>Gateway>Time.
There are three ways to set the Gateway time:
Network Time Protocol (recommended)
– This option uses a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server to adjust the Gateway’s time in order to
match the time of the control network. Enter the IP address for the NTP server and select the
packet version (1, 2, 3, or 4).
Set with PC Time
– This option will match the Gateway’s time to that of the PC/laptop.
Manual Entry
– This option allows the user to enter a specific date (MM:DD:YY) and time (HH:MM:SS).
Note
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is recommended for the best network performance because it always
adjusts time to match the network time server.

bus length should not exceed 4000 ft. (1220 m). Connect the Tx + (positive, transmit) wire to terminal A
and the Rx - (negative, receive) wire to terminal B. The wiring shield should be trimmed close and
insulated from touching the Gateway enclosure or other terminations. Only terminated at one end
typically at the power supply end.

Switches 1 and 3 are connected to pull-up and pull down resistors. Switch 1 is for the Tx + (A) line and
Switch 3 is for the Rx – (B) line. These 470 Ω resistors are used to prevent noise from being interpreted as
valid communications during periods when no actual communications are occurring. Only one set of
pull-up and pull-down resistors should be active on the RS-485 data bus at time.

Switch 2 is connected to a 120 Ω terminating resistor. This resistor is used to dampen signal reflections
on long cable runs. RS-485 specifications indicate that the data bus should be terminated at both ends
(Figure 3-10). However termination should only be used with high data rates (above 115 kbps) and long

The Gateway is designed to be powered by 24 VDC (nominal) and requires 250 mA of current. The
positive and negative connections are found on the left side of the terminal block (Figure 3-6). An
additional case ground is found on the left side of the junction box enclosure.

Connect supply power to the positive + and negative – power terminals found on the left side of the
terminal block (Figure 3-6). Recommended torque is 7 in-lb and the gauge is 12 to 22 AWG. An
additional internal case ground can be found on the left side of the enclosure. The wiring should include
an external power shut-off switch or circuit breaker that is located near the Gateway.
Note
Using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is recommended to ensure availability should there be a
loss of power.
Note
When using PoE PD, a power supply is not required.
3.4.6Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The new Gateway hardware supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at PoE.
With the growth of Ethernet, many have wanted to save time and cost on wiring by sending power down
to an Ethernet device over the same Ethernet cable used to haul data. This is possible because there are
four extra wires in an Ethernet cable that are typically not used. In the past there was no formal standard,
people came up with their own wiring schemes for using these wires to provide power. This resulted in a
number of different schemes to exist and lead to confusion as people were damaging their computers
because they did not know there was power available over the Ethernet cable.

Reference Manual

In 2003, IEEE 802.3af standard for PoE was adopted. It specified:
The wires that would carry power and how
Devices that could source power and devices that could be powered
Supplied wattage would be up to 15 Watts (in 2009, IEEE 802.3at was adopted, which allowed power
up to 25 Watts)
The voltage used
A method of protecting against damaging non-PoE devices
There are two types of IEEE 802.3 PoE devices
1. PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) is a device that acts as a voltage source and supplies PoE to devices
via the Ethernet cable.
2. PD (Powered Device) is a device that is supplied with power via PoE from a PSE device via the Ethernet
cable.
The Gateway can be configured by jumpers to work in either one of the modes referenced above.
Therefore the Gateway can source power or be powered via the Ethernet cable.
Note
The Gateway cannot be a PSE and a PD at the same time. PoE can only be configured on one Gateway
port at a time.
PoE advantages
To save costs on planning, wiring and installation of networks, devices are supplied with power directly
via the Ethernet cable (e.g. via a Cat 5/5e cable up to 100m). PoE makes the network planning flexible,
independent of power supply cabinets, and junction boxes. There are no extra costs for the electrical
wiring. An advantage of PoE is that you can install devices with an Ethernet interface in places of difficult
access or in areas in which running cable would be inconvenient. This in turn saves installation time and
costs. This technology is in use today typically in IP telephones, cameras, or wireless transmission devices
such as WLAN Access Points.
An excellent application is a Gateway connected to a Wi-Fi back haul unit; such as a Cisco
®
or ProSoft®
unit. For example a Cisco unit could power the Gateway or in another case the Gateway could power the
ProSoft unit as in a PFN with the addition of an external power supply.
Selecting devices to work with a PoE Gateway
The connecting device to the Gateway whether it is a PSE or a PD must be labeled as compliant with IEEE
802.3af or IEEE 802.3at. Many companies use labels on their packaging such as PoE for IEEE 802.3af or
PoE+ for IEEE 802.3at. Check the specific manufacturer's specifications of any device to make sure
somewhere it references IEEE 802.3; otherwise it may not work.
The Gateway works as either a PoE PSE for IEEE 802.3af (sourcing 15 Watts) or PoE+ PSE for IEEE 802.3at
(sourcing 25 Watts) depending on the input voltage to the Gateway from the power supply. For 12 VDC
nominal input, the Gateway can source 15 Watts. For 24 VDC nominal input, the Gateway can source up
to 25 Watts. No additional adjustment is necessary.
In the PoE PD mode, the Gateway draws its power over the selected Ethernet cable from another PoE IEEE
802.3 device either 802.3af or 802.3at.
22
Caution is needed in selecting a companion device to the Gateway for PoE. Not all devices labeled PoE
will function. Before 2003, there was no standard and companies developed their own techniques for
powering over an Ethernet cable. These techniques are not always interoperable. Before the standard,
Installation
Page 31
Reference Manual
00809-0200-4420, Rev HD
they used the term PoE on many of their products. Most new products labeled PoE are IEEE compatible.
Cisco products can be ordered with their old standard (Online Power as it is sometimes referred to) or
with the IEEE 802.3 PoE standard. Check with the appropriate manufacturer if in doubt before purchasing/installing the connecting equipment.
For reference, Cisco offers the following four versions:
1. Prestandard PoE (Online Power)
2. 802.3af-compliant PoE (15W)
3. 802.3at-compliant PoE Plus (PoE+) (25W)
Universal PoE (UPoE) (60W). (New Cisco standard, which Cisco claims is compatible with IEEE 802.3af
PoE and IEEE 802.3at PoE +)
Note
When using a Gateway as IEEE 802.3 PSE device, check the total power levels of all the PD equipment
connected (including the Gateway itself 3.6 Watts) to make sure the power supply to the gateway can
source enough power. It is always a good design practice to make sure the power supply has more than
enough power capability to handle startup loads and future expansion.
Installation
July 2017
IEEE 802.3 PoE gives protection from damaging a computer or
another piece of equipment
When using IEEE 802.3 PoE, one of the important new features of this standard is that PSE devices have a
test mechanism to protect connected incompatible devices from being damaged. Only devices which
have an authenticating characteristic based on the IEEE 802.3 standard, receive power via the Ethernet
cable. To determine whether a PD is connected, the input parameters are checked by the PSE. This
method is called “Resistive Power Discovery”. During the discovery process resistance, capacitance, and
current are checked.
If the PSE detects a PD it starts classification, i.e. determination of the power requirement of the
connected device. For this the PSE applies a small defined voltage to the power input of the PD's and
measures the resulting current. The PD is assigned to a power class based on the value of the current.
Only now the total voltage is supplied to the power input.
This sophisticated system prevents computers and other devices from being damaged when connected
to these cables.
Older non-IEEE standard PoE offerings may not have this protection and could damage computers and
other devices.
Proper PoE installation considerations
Installation
In all electrical installations, local codes and prevailing regulations must be observed. Only use properly
trained/licensed installers, approved materials, have installations inspected as required and if in doubt
seek help from a qualified person. PoE+ and the load of the Gateway (approximately 3 to 4 Watts) can
add up to 30 Watts of power; because of this the proper Ethernet cable must be selected depending on
the length of the cable run. Check with the manufacturer for the specifications of the cable being used to
determine the power versus length requirements. Multiple powered Ethernet cables running in the same
location must be considered for total temperature rise. Most Ethernet cable suppliers have charts for PoE
usage on their websites.

Typically, Cat 5 should handle most installations with runs up to 100 meters (approximately 300 feet).
The use of Cat 3 is not recommended in any installation PoE or non-PoE, Cat 3 may work for some lower
power short run applications, but overall it has poorer data handling and lower power capability. Cat 6
and Cat 7 are respectively better than Cat 5.
PoE FAQs
Does the old 1420 Gateway hardware have PoE?
No, not IEEE PoE; in the current 1420 Gateway there is a third Ethernet port on the far left of the
connector board (closest to the hinge). This port has a cover on it; in the manual it is labeled “Ethernet 2
with Power.” This connector is connected to Ethernet port 2 and the spare Ethernet wires in this
connector are bridged to the input power lines to the Gateway. This was designed for special applications
and is not recommended for normal use. This connector can damage computer and other equipment
connected to it if used improperly and has been removed as it is not needed in the new PoE design.
What do I have to do to order IEEE PoE on a 1420 Gateway?
There is no specific option code for PoE. In time, all 1420 Gateways will have PoE. Initially PoE will be
offered by approvals codes as PoE is approved for that application. For example, typically N5 or N6
approvals take the least time. These approvals codes when approved for PoE would automatically ship
with the new hardware. Approval codes like N3 or N4, which typically take a longer time, would ship with
PoE at a later date. Contact your Emerson Sales Representative to find out if a particular code has been
approved for PoE.
It should be also noted that all PoE units shipped are configured as a PoE PD on port 1. By using the
jumpers included with the unit, the installer configures the unit during installation as to mode and port
of PoE operation if desired. See the “Gateway PoE jumpering” on page 26 for jumpering diagrams.
If I am not using PoE, how should I program the Gateway?
Program the 1420 Gateway as a PoE PD on either port; then connect up the local power supply (24 or 12
VDC) to the power input terminals of the Gateway. There is no problem if the Gateway is programed as a
PD and has local power too. The Gateway working as a PD when it sees local power switches to the local
power instead of the Ethernet PoE. See “Gateway PoE jumpering” on page 26 for jumpering diagrams.
What type of power supply should I use with the PoE Gateway in the PSE mode?
A Class 1 power supply is strongly recommended for all Gateway applications for improved safety. The
power supply should be a 24 or 12 VDC unit. 24 VDC allows more power to be sourced in the PSE mode.
The power supply should be able to handle at least 30 Watts if using PSE; for good operating margin it
would be advisable to consider at least a 50 Watt supply.
Note
Solar or battery power is not recommended for PoE PSE operation as there are additional power loses
caused by the PoE circuitry.
What is the maximum Voltage PoE PSE can source?
Maximum Voltage is normally 48 VDC; up to 25 Watts.

Can you do redundant power with PoE?
Yes, as PoE becomes more popular many network appliance (switch) providers are supplying innovative
switches and other hardware to create redundantly powered networks. Typically, many switch suppliers
offer switches that allow multiple power inputs. Check your local switch supplier as to available configurations. Also, the Gateway will work with a local power supply connected to the power input terminals of
the Gateway and as a PD with power coming over the Ethernet at the same time. If both sources are
present, the Gateway selects the local power supply first. If the local power fails, the Gateway
automatically switches to Ethernet power. When the local power is restored, the Gateway automatically
returns to local power.
How do I know if my 1420 Gateway has IEEE PoE capability?
The simplest way to check for IEEE PoE capability is to open the upper door on the 1420 Gateway and the
see how the computer board is mounted. In the newer hardware, the board is mounted horizontally. The
old hardware the computer board was mounted vertically.

Modbus TCP Port: This is the TCP/IP port the Gateway uses for Modbus TCP (Ethernet). To change TCP/IP
port settings, see the Internal Firewall section for more details.
Baud Rate: The data rate or speed of serial communications. This setting is only required for Modbus
RTU.
Parity: This setting determines parity (none, even, or odd) to use for error checking purposes. This
setting is only required for Modbus RTU.
Stop Bits: This setting determines the number (1 or 2) of stop bits to use when ending a message. This
setting is only required for Modbus RTU.
Response delay time (ms): This setting determines how long (ms) the Gateway waits before
responding to a Modbus request. This setting is only required for Modbus RTU.
Unmapped register read response?: This is the value returned by the Gateway if the Modbus master
requests a register with no data assigned to it (empty register). It is recommended this be set to zero fill
to prevent errors.
Floating point representation: This setting determines if the Gateway uses floating point values or
integer values. There are three options for this setting.
Float uses 32 bit floating point values.
Round rounds the data value to the nearest whole number.
Scaled uses scaled integers to offset negative values or increase decimal point resolution. The equation
for scaled integers is:

B = Offset for scaled integer value
Use swapped floating point format?: This setting switches which register is sent first for a floating
point value. This setting is only used for floating point values.
Incorporate value’s associated status as error?: This setting will cause the Gateway to report a
predetermined value when a communications or critical diagnostic error is received from the wireless
field device. The value is user configurable depending on which floating point representation is chosen.
See Value reported for error below.
Value reported for error (floating point): This setting determines what value is reported if the wireless
field device reports a failure or stops communicating to the Gateway. This setting is used for floating
point values. The choices are NaN (not a number), +Inf (positive infinity), -Inf (negative infinity), or Other
(user specified).
Reference Manual
00809-0200-4420, Rev HD
Value reported for error (rounded and native integer): This setting determines what value is reported
if the wireless field device reports a failure or stops communicating to the Gateway. This setting is used
for rounded or scaled integers. The choice is a user specified value between -32768 and 65535.
Scaled floating point maximum integer value: This determines the maximum integer value for the
purpose scaling integers. 999-65534
Use global scale gain and offset?: This setting determines if a global gain and offset is applied for scaled
integers or if each value has a unique gain and offset. Unique gain and offsets are found on the Modbus
Mapping page.
Global scale gain: This value is multiplied to the data values for the purpose of scaling integers. If global
scaling is not selected, a gain value will be available for each separate data value on the Modbus Mapping
page.
Global scale offset: This value is added to the data values for the purpose of scaling integers. If global
scaling is not selected, an offset value will be available for each separate data value on the Modbus
Mapping page.
5.4.2Register mapping
Register Mapping is the process of assigning data points from wireless field devices to Modbus registers.
These registers can then be read by a Modbus master or client. Modbus register mapping can be found
by navigating to System Settings>Protocols>Modbus.

To add a new data point to the Modbus register map:
1. Select AddNew entry.
2. Complete all of the table entries for the new data point (note that the entry columns may vary based
on the Modbus communications settings).
3. Repeat for each new data point.
4. Select Submit.
Address: This is the Modbus RTU address used by the Gateway for this data point. It is possible to group
data points assigning them the same address (i.e. all data points from the same process unit can have the
same address). This column only appears if Multiple Modbus Addresses is selected on the Modbus
Communications page.
Register: This is the Modbus register number used for this data value. Modbus registers hold two bytes
(16 bits) of information; therefore 32 bit floats and integers require two Modbus registers. Each data
point needs a unique Modbus register number, unless they are assigned different addresses. Register
numbers 0-19999 are reserved for Boolean (bit, coil, binary, etc…) values. Register numbers 20000+ are
reserved for floating point or integer values.
Point Name: This is a two part name for the data point. The first part is the HART Tag of the wireless field
device which is producing the data. The second part is the parameter of the wireless field device.
Note
Point Name is entered as <HART Tag.PARAMETER>. Point Name can be entered using the list of values (…)
or manually entered. The following table gives a list of standard device parameters which may be
considered for Modbus register mapping.

Reference Manual
00809-0200-4420, Rev HD
RELIABILITY and ONLINE relate to wireless communications. RELIABILITY is the percentage of messages
received from the wireless field device. ONLINE is a true/false indication of whether the device is
communicating on the wireless network.
**_HEALTHY parameters are a true/false indication of the health of a particular variable (** = dynamic
variable – PV, SV, etc…). These parameters incorporate critical diagnostics from the wireless field device
as well as communication status.
Note
The **_HEALTHY parameters are a great indication of the health and communications status of the data
values.
State (state value): The value of a data point which drives a Modbus output of 1. For example, if a data
point is reported as either True or False, a state value of True will report a 1 for True and 0 for False. A state
of False will report a 0 for True and a 1 for False. State is only required for register numbers 0-19999
(Boolean, bit, coil, binary, etc…).
Invert: This check box will invert the Modbus output from a 1 to a 0 or a 0 to a 1. Invert is only used for
Boolean values using register numbers 0-19999.
Gain: This value is multiplied to the data value for the purpose of scaling integers. Gain is only required if
scaled is chosen on the Modbus communications page and globe gain and offset is not chosen.
Offset: This value is added to the data value for the purpose of scaling integers. Offset is only required if
scaled is chosen on the Modbus communications page and globe gain and offset is not chosen.

To expedite the return process outside of North America, contact your Emerson representative.
Within the United States, call the Emerson Response Center toll-free number 1-800-654-7768. The
center, which is available 24 hours a day, will assist you with any needed information or materials.
The center will ask for product model and serial numbers, and will provide a Return Material
Authorization (RMA) number. The center will also ask for the process material to which the product was
last exposed.
Individuals who handle products exposed to a hazardous substance can avoid injury if they are informed
of, and understand, the hazard. If the product being returned was exposed to a hazardous substance as
defined by OSHA, a copy of the required Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each hazardous
substance identified must be included with the returned goods.

Reference Manual
00809-0200-4420, Rev HD
C.2Latency considerations in control logic design and
operation
Since the DeltaV wireless I/O scanner software requests updates for 1/5 of the devices each second,
DeltaV receives updates on a particular field device once every five seconds. That is not necessarily
synchronized with the update rate of the field device. Also, there is some latency between when the field
device takes a process sample and when it is permitted to pass its value onto the wireless network. Status
update responses can also increase latency in some instances. So for example, if a device updates once
every eight seconds, and wireless network latency is two seconds, the amount of time that could pass
between when an event occurred in the field and before it is available to the DeltaV I/O bus is between
zero and 15 (8+2+5) seconds. The update period of the DeltaV control module should be added to that
total to determine the range of latencies before an event in the field can be acted upon by the control
system.
Operators should be made aware that the update rate of wireless measurements on operator screens are
somewhat slower than those from wired devices. For example, if the operator initiates a valve
movement, it can be five to 15 seconds before confirming feedback appears on the operator screen. Any
control logic designed along the same principles should also take the update rates and latencies into
account as well.

D.3Setup
When configuring redundant Gateways, it is only necessary to configure one system. The other Gateway
will be configured automatically when it is paired with the first Gateway.
Choose one Gateway as the starter Gateway. For the purposes of this document, it will be referred to as
Gateway A. The other Gateway will be referred to as Gateway B.
To configure redundancy system settings:
1. Connect a PC/laptop to the Ethernet 1 port on Gateway A.
2. Log in using the admin user account.
3. Navigate to System Settings>Gateway>Redundancy.
Gateway A’s factory serial number will be assigned to Gateway A.
Gateway B’s factory serial number will be assigned to Gateway B.
The Gateway names will be used in diagnostic messages and host system integration to help identify
each Gateway. It is recommended that these names be marked on each physical Gateway, in addition to
the configuration settings.
Selecting left or right for Gateway A is for visualization purposes only. It has no effect on performance or
functionality.

Once the Gateways have finished the pairing process, Gateway A will appear as the current active
Gateway on the left hand side and Gateway B will be the standby Gateway on the right (note that
left/right hand appearance can be changed on the Redundancy System Settings page). If significant
configuration changes need to be downloaded to the standby Gateway, it may temporarily go offline
shortly after the pair process is complete. This is expected behavior and does not represent instability in
the system.
D.4Mounting and connections
Redundant Gateways follow similar mounting and connection practices as a standalone Gateway. Refer
to Section 3: Installation for more information. In addition to the standard practices, the following
considerations should be taken when installing redundant Gateways.
D.4.1Mounting
The redundant Gateways should be mounted in a location that allows convenient access to the process
control network as well and provides good coverage for the wireless field network.
The redundant Gateway antennas should be mounted at the same height and be spaced between 3–9 ft.
(1–3 m) horizontally. This is to ensure that they provide identical coverage for the wireless field network
and to help eliminate coverage gap in the event of a switch over.

When replacing or reintroducing a Gateway in a redundant system, always connect both the primary and
secondary Ethernet connections before powering the standby Gateway. If the Gateway is being
reintroduced (i.e. it was a part of the original redundant system), it will automatically rejoin the
redundant system. If the Gateway is new or has been set to default configuration, it will need to be paired
to the current active Gateway. Navigate to System Settings>Gateway>Redundancy and follow the
recommended actions on that page or follow the procedure above to pair Gateways and form a
redundant system.
