INTRODUCTION
WirelessHART Technology Overview
The WirelessHART technology is based on a wireless mesh network communication protocol used in
process automation applications. It adds wireless capabilities to the HART protocol, while maintaining
compatibility with existing HART devices, commands and already known and used tools.
WirelessHART network
Basically, a WirelessHART network, defined in the HART specifications, consists of a host, a
WirelessHART Gateway and one or more field devices and/or WirelessHART adapters. Together they
compose a mesh network where the host and devices can communicate.
Introduction
Host
The host, usually connected to the control network, is a workstation in which, e.g., can be installed a
Human Machine Interface application, which allows an operator to interact with the process. Through the
WirelessHART Gateway (DF100), the host can gather data from devices connected to the
WirelessHART network. The host communicates with the WirelessHART Gateway (DF100) using a
communication protocol, for example, HSE, H1, Profibus or Modbus.
WirelessHART Gateway (DF100)
It is a "translator" equipment. Thus it converts data from the host to the WirelessHART protocol, used by
the devices connected to the WirelessHART network, and converts data from the de vices to the host. In
general, the WirelessHART Gateway (DF100) incorporates the features of Network Manager and
Access Point. Roughly, the access point can be understood as the WirelessHART radio installed at the
gateway to communicate with devices connected to the wireless network.
Security Manager
The Security Manager is an application usually embedded in the WirelessHART Gateway (DF100).
Allowed only one Network Manager in a WirelessHART netw ork, but the same Security Manager can
serve several WirelessHART networks.
Its main function is to create, store and manage security keys (encryption and authentication) for which
the devices have network access and monitor the status of network security.
V
Page 6
TP400 WirelessHARTTM - Operation, Maintenance and Instructions Manual
Network Manager
The Network Manager is an application that can be embedded in the WirelessHART Gateway. On a
WirelessHART network is only allowed to have one Network Manager. Among its responsibilities, the
Network Manager distributes network identity (advertisement) publishing its existence, manages and
authenticates the addition (joining) of devices to the network. It also distributes individual security keys
(static or rotating) to the devices to ensure secure communication between it and the devices. The
Network Manager assigns communication band to the devices already connected to the network that
requested services to it, as well as manages the routes between the devices on the mesh network.
Specifically about the joining process of a WirelessHART device to the network, the Network Manager
validates the Network ID and the Join Key attributes which are configured in the WirelessHART Gatewa y
and WirelessHART devices.
The Network ID identifies a WirelessHART network in unique way. It is an unsigned inte ger attribute
and must be configured on the WirelessHART Gateway and all WirelessHART devices. Considering a
WirelessHART network installed in a plant, the permitted values for the Network ID ranges from 0 (hex
0x0000) to 32767 (0x7FFF hexadecimal).
The Join Key is a security key used to encrypt joining requests from WirelessHART devices that receive
the advertisement with the Network Id identical to theirs. It may be single or each WirelessHART device
may be configured with an individual Join Key. In the first case, the WirelessHART Gateway and all
WirelessHART devices must be configured with the same Join Key. In the second case, which provides
higher communication security level, (a) must be configured in the WirelessHART Gateway a list with
individual Join Keys, i.e., a key for each WirelessHART device, and (b) you must configure each
WirelessHART device with its individual Join Key. The Join Key is a hexadecimal string of 16 bytes.
There is no restriction to the hexadecimal value of each byte. The table below shows ex amples of some
join keys.
The WirelessHART field device is the device that connects to the process, being able to receive and/or
transmit data on the WirelessHART network. It is a WirelessHART router (repeater) by nature, i.e., it is
able to retransmit messages to/from other devices on the WirelessHART network.
WirelessHART Adapter
It is a bridge-type device, because it is able to provide data of HART + 4 to 20mA field device, legacy, to
the host via WirelessHART. The adapter uses HART FSK standard communication, wired, to access
data from HART field devices. And the adapter also uses the WirelessHART communication to provide
data of the field device to the host. The adapter thus enables a HART field device to work on
WirelessHART network.
Planning a WirelessHART network
The planning of a WirelessHART network is a task that is very similar to the activities that currently we
perform with conventional wired devices. Furthermore, due to the simplicity of a mesh WirelessHART
network, is exempt, in general, detailed field surveys, which are usually needed w hen we plan networks
based on other wireless technologies.
Basically, a WirelessHART network involves planning, design, installation and commissioning phases.
Planning
This phase requires the execution of the following steps:
Clearly define the scope of the network. Answer the question: why do we need the wireless netw ork? To
monitor process variables or to implement a non-critical control? The answer to this question will
facilitate the understanding between the team members responsible for the network and determine one
or more process units in the plant. For each process unit, allocate a gateway with unique and specific
Network ID. Outline the main field devices.
Identify potential sources of interference
Are there radio communications or other wireless networks in the plant? What protocols and frequencies
do they use? Use high power? Although unlikely, given the robustness of the radios used by the
WirelessHART technology, prior knowledge of the answers to these questions may identify potential
sources of interference and to indicate the taking of preventive and/or limiting actions even before
installation. For example, you can select a frequency channel as unavailable, adding it to the black list of
frequencies that is under the WirelessHART Network Manager control.
Integration with the host
The gateway connects the WirelessHART field devices to the host system. Plan what devices and what
data are needed. Also, the stations or applications which will process the data have to be clearly
defined. From this set, among the protocols in the system, define which one will be used for integration
with the host and with the existing tools for configuring the devices. After defining the protocol for
integration, the user has to choose the gateway on the market that best meets your requirements. Smar
offers the Gateway DF100 that supports Modbus/TCP/HSE.
Project
In the project phase, it is recommended the adoption of the practices below. Although conservative,
these practices ensure robustness and scalability to the network.
o Define the Network ID that will be used for all devices in the process unit;
o Define if the Join Key will be common to all devices or individual and dedicated ;
o Define the policy to be used for the definition of devices (Long) Tags;
o Use a scale drawing of the process unit;
o Place the gateway in a strategic position in the process unit ;
o Plan networks with at least five devices;
o Install at least five devices within the gateway coverage area;
o Ensure that 25 % of the devices are within the gateway coverage area;
Gateway coverage area
VII

o Reposition the gateway as needed ;
o Check the coverage area of each device;
o Ensure that each device has three neighbors within its coverage area;
WirelessHART devices vicinity
o Place the repeaters as needed.
Installation
As mentioned before, WirelessHART devices should be connected to the process and configured the
same way as conventional wired HART devices. Handheld terminals can be used normally. Just be sure
of having it properly uploaded with the latest DD files of the devices. However, it is known that the
WirelessHART devices have characteristics inherent to the technology. Because of this, it is
recommended the adoption of practices mentioned below for positioning the gateway and devices.
o Install the gateway and the devices so that their antennas are vertical;
o Ensure that the antennas are at 0.5 m minimum distance of large obstacles or surfaces ;
o Ensure that the antennas of gateway and repeaters are 2 m above most obstacles within their
coverage areas;
VIII
Gateway and repeater 2m above the obstacles
Page 9
o If there are high devices, does not exceed 45° viewing angles between them;
Introduction
Device’s viewing angle
o Make sure that the gateway is integrated to the host system as planned.
Commissioning on Bench
Commissioning consists on testing the device and verifying its configuration data. The TP400
WirelessHART can be commissioned either before or after installation. The commissioning of the
device in bench before its installation using CONF401, HPC401 or any DD-based configurator, e.g.
Smar AssetView, ensures that all transmitters’ components are working properly.
To turn on/off the repeater use the terminal SW1 (ON/OFF), as shown in Figure 1.7.
To connect the handheld to the device, use the communication terminals "CN1 and CN2" on the
terminal block. See Figure 1.7.
Commission the devices and gateway.
WirelessHART devices commissioning
a. Install and power the gateway (DF100)
b. If not specified by the client at time of order, the Network ID and Join Key values of gateway and
devices will be the factory default values. Note: It is strongly recommended that both be changed! To
change these parameters install the gateway and all network devices following the steps below.
Once the network is fully operational it will be more practical to change them.
c. The devices configuration must be done individually, starting with those nearest to the gateway and
further to the most distant so that communication is established correctly.
d. Always install the device with the antenna in the vertical direction. None WirelessHART device must
be located at the highest point of the plant, preventing it to work as possible lightning rod;
e. Turn on the device by the switch at left of the display and wait for its connection to the network (this
time can vary from 2 to 20 minutes depending on the network size). The device status on the
network can be verified on display, maintenance port or gateway.
IX
Page 10
TP400 WirelessHARTTM - Operation, Maintenance and Instructions Manual
ATTENTION
If the device was not purchased with the gateway, i.e. the gateway already has values of Network ID and
Join Key different from the default values, it is necessary to set these parameters in the device so that it
properly connects to the network: first configure Network ID and then Join Key, restarting the device
after settings.
f. Once these steps are performed for all network devices and they are connected properly, it is time
to change the values of Network ID and Join Key from factory following the instructions at the end of
step "e" (if not changed yet). Network ID can be any number between 0 and 32767 which identifies
the network among others. Join Key is a key of 32 hexadecimal characters (0-9 and AF) that works
as a key so the devices can have access to the configured network.
g. Configure the LongTAG parameter that identifies the device on the network.
h. Check if the device engineering units are in accordance with those required by the process.
i. Configure the parameters of the burst mode to publish measurements and status desired:
Burst Message: up to 3 messages with commands and different times can be configured;
Minimum Time : is the time for publication of the variables;
Maximum Time: must be greater than the minimum time and is only used in trigger mode (check
the operation of the trigger mode in the device manual if you want to receive the monitoring
variables only when there is any change on their values);
Command: HART command that sends the variables desired by user (e.g. , the command 3
sends values of PV, SV, TV and QV, when available);
Burst Mode: Once all parameters have been configured, activate Burst mode.
Acquisition based on Burst time parameter that reduces the consumption of the device to
perform only one acquisition immediately before the burst transmission. If this parameter is
disabled, the device will execute an acquisition every two seconds, regardless of the Burst
Minimum Time.
j. After some time negotiating with the gateway, the device will start publishing the configured
command at a minimum time rate configured. The ACK icon is shown on the display (if available)
when the device enters in Burst Mode and the icon F(t) blinks on the moment that the command
burst is sent.
ATTENTION
The Burst mode configurations remain even after the shutdown of the device, i.e., when it is turned on,
the device connects to the network automatically in Burst mode with the same time and command
configured. The higher the refresh rate, the lower the lifetime of the battery and vice versa. Configure a
refresh rate that allows the device to last few years.
k. After the general network configuration, wait a period of about 1 hour for the network starts to
operate 100% optimized.
ATTENTION
There is a battery estimated lifetime parameter that indicates the expected duration in days of the
device. This parameter is recalculated every 60 minutes and its value should only become valid after
two or three hours of operation of the device on the network (time required for consumption
optimization). When this value is near the end, the user will receive a warning in the device status and in
the display (when available). When you replace the Battery Module (Smar code 400-1209) you have to
configure the replacement via configurator that will restart the counting of the estimated lifetime for the
new module.
ATTENTION
Do not discard the Module of Batteries in regular trash. Use a proper disposal for batteries or chemical
waste.

Verifying the Range of Device
Identify which distance to be considered according to the type of environment to install the device:
To mount the device near the ground, below ground level or under water, since the RF signal is
absorbed into soil or water and does not propagate, can significantly reduce the range of the devices.
Additionally, to mount the device outside the network area (gateway), for example, considering a
network in an open environment and installing the device inside a closed room, also contributes to signal
attenuation, because signal will not propagate very well within concrete, wood, etc.
Gateway commissioning
The gateways can have a remote connection to the antenna, allowing them to be installed indoors and
only the antenna is in the network environment .
a) Make sure that the gateway is available to the host system;
b) Check the gateway and make sure it has at least five devices directly connected to it;
c) Check if 25 % of the devices are connected directly to the gateway. If necessary, add repeaters;
d) The gateway connects the devices to the host system. Thus, check if the data of the devices are
We recommend a visit to the HART Communication Foundation website for additional information about
the WirelessHART protocol such as WirelessHART project planning, positioning of devices,
commissioning and verification tools, and practices.
TP400 WirelessHART
The TP400 is a WirelessHARTTM transmitter for position measurement and it is part of the family of
Smar devices.
It can measure displacement or movement of rotary or linear type based on Hall effect non-contact
sensor. The digital technology and wireless communication provide an easy interface between the field
and control room and several interesting features that considerably reduce the installation, operation
and maintenance cost.
The TP400WirelessHART
equipment with linear or rotary motion such as skylights, dampers, rollers spacing, crushers, etc. There
is an option for remote sensor with cable length up to 20 m.
The Remote Sensor Position is a recommended accessory for high temperatures applications (up to
105 ºC), for excessive vibration or even difficult local access. It avoids equipment excessive wear and,
consequently, increases the equipment lifetime. The cable supplied by Smar is shielded and provides
excellent protection against electromagnetic interferences.
Introduction
Strong Obstruction - about 30 m (10 ft.). Very dense environments in relation to devices, pipes,
cables, etc. Consider a place where you are not normally able to travel.
Average Obstruction - about 75 m (25 ft.). Environment which have space among devices in
relation to the rest of the plant.
Light Obstruction - 150 m (50 ft.). Consider an open environment that has some kind of
obstruction such as a silo or a tank. Although the obstruction is large, around the obstacle there
is enough free space for propagation of the RF waves.
Line of Sight - up to 225 m (75 ft.). Consider that the antenna’s device "sees" directly the
antenna of another network device, without any obstacle between them. Furthermore, the height
difference between them should not have an angle greater than 5 degrees.

INSTALLATION
General
Installation Procedure
For hazardous area installations the IEC 60079-14 standard recommendations must be follow.
Although the TP400 has an outstanding performance, proper installation i s essential to maximize its
efficiency.
Humidity is fatal to electronic circuits. In areas subjected t o high relative humidity level the O-rings
for the electronic housing covers must be in good conditions and corr ectly placed. The covers must
be completely closed by hand until the O-rings are compressed. Avoid using tools for this operation.
Removal of the electronics cover in the field should be avoided in order to protect elect ronic circuit
from humidity.
The electronic circuit is protected by a humidity proof varnish but frequent exposures to humidity
may affect the protection provided. It is also important to keep the covers tightened in place. Every
time they are removed, the threads are exposed to corrosion, since thes e parts ar e not pr otected b y
painting.
Do not remove cover grease to avoid stuck housing.
Common cause, random or often failures should not damage the device or result in death and serious injury,
harm the environment or result in loss of production or devices.
Electrical discharge can result in death and serious injury.
The position transmitter is designed to be lightweight and robust at the sa me time, allowing an easy
installation. The following figures show the dimensions and usual mounting positions of the p osition
transmitter.
The TP400WirelessHARTTM must always be installed with the antenna positioned upwards.
Do not rotate the antenna, because the cable may break.
To access the display and the main board remove the front cover. This cover can be locked by the
cover locking screw. To release the cover, rotate the locking screw clockwise. See Figure 1.10.
The TP400 mounting depends on the type movement, linear or rotar y. T wo brackets are requ ired for
mounting, one for the magnet and the other for the transmitter itself.
Make sure that arrow engraved on the magnet coincides with the arrow eng raved on the Position Transmitter
when the system is in mid travel.
When mounting the the Position Transmitter, consider that:
1. There is no attrict between the internal magnet face and the position sensor salience all over the travel
2. The magnet and the salience of position sensor must not be distant.
A minimum distance of 2 mm and a maximum distance of 4mm are recommended between the magnet
external face and the transmitter face. For that, a centralizer device (linear) must be used. The centralizer
device is in the transmitter packing.
Should the position transmitter installation change, or magnet change, or should any other
modification, the transmitter will require a re-calibration.

The electric signals in the remote sensor cable to device are of low intensity. Therefore, when
installing the remote sensor cable inside the conduit (maximum limit 20 meters length), we
recommend to avoid the proximity of possible induction sources and/or magnetic interferenc e. The
supplied cable is shielded for protection against electromagnetic interference, but despite this
protection avoid the cable sharing the same conduit with other cables.

MAIN BOARD:
Central Processing Unit (CPU), RAM, FLASH and FRAM
The CPU is the intelligent portion of the position transmitter, being responsible for the management and
operation of all other blocks. The firmware is stored in a FLASH memory while the calibration data,
identification and configuration are stored in nonvolatile FRAM. For temporary data storage the CPU
uses an internal RAM. The data in the RAM is lost if power is switched off.
HART Modem
It modulates a communication signal in the communication port. A "1" is represented by 1200 Hz and "0"
by 2200 Hz.
The function of this system is to make possible the exchange of information between the configurator
and the repeater, through Master-Slave type digital communication.
Therefore, the transmitter demodulates the signal received serially from the configurator through the
maintenance port, after treating it appropriately; it modulates the response to be sent. The HART
FSK technology to modulate the signal.
Battery
The Battery Module has 7.2V, consisting of 2 primary lithium batteries (Li-SOCl2) of 3.6 V. Each battery
has 2.5 grams of lithium, or 5.0 grams for the Battery Module.
By no means should be used other than the power supplied by batteries Module Smar (code 400-1209).
When you replace the Battery Module (code Smar 400-1209) to set up the replacement via a configurator that will
cause the device to reboot count the estimated lifespan for the new module.
Under normal use, the batteries offer no risk of spontaneous reaction if they are handled properly. You should
exercise caution in relation to falls, high temperature and short-circuit the Battery Module, so that it does not offer
any risk or malfunction.
Even with low batteries should keep the same care, they still offer dangers. Never attempt to disassemble, modify
or recharge the batteries as this may result in leakage or explosion.
STORAGE
The battery module should preferably be stored in an environment below 30 ° C, dry, ventilated subject to less
variation in temperature.
Do not dispose of batteries in Module trash. Use a battery for proper disposal or chemical waste.
When you replace the Battery Module (code Smar 400-1209) to set up the replacement via a configurator that will
cause the device to reboot count the estimated lifespan for the new module.

Local Adjustment
Operation
The position transmitter, under the identification plate, two holes that allow the placement of the
magnetic tool to perform the Local Adjustment.
The holes are marked with Z (Zero) and S (Span) and from now on will be designated simply by (Z) and
(S), respectively. See the following figure:
NOTE
For configuration via local adjustment the following actions are necessary:
The write protection jumper must be disabled;
The local adjustment jumper must be enabled.
See on Figure 1.11 the location of Local Adjustment and Write Protection jumpers on the main board.
Figure 2.2 –Local Adjusment
Browsing the functions and their branches works as follows:
Inserting the handle of the magnetic tool in (Z), the device passes from the norma l measurement
state to the configuration state. The position transmitter software automatically starts to display
the available functions in a cyclic routine.
Apply the magnetic tool in (Z) to navigate through all available configuration options;
Once the display shows the desired option, change the magnetic tool to (S) to select and
navigate within the branch of the selected option. Removing the magnetic tool will allow the
device to save the configurations (in case of changing).
The options available for TP400W local adjustment are:

TP400 WirelessHARTTM - Operation and Maintenance Instruction Manual
The DISP option changes the configuration of display mode. There are four modes supported:
OFF: display always turned off
ON: display always turned on
USER: display normally off but activated when user inserts the magnetic key (S)
BRST: display normally off but activated when device sends a burst command.
UNIT: Engineering unit or percentage;
ACT: Direct or reverse action;
ADDR: Address 0 up to 63;
EU0: 0% corresponding to lower value;
EU100: 100% corresponding to upper value;
LTRIM: Lower position Trim (set with the actuator or mechanism in the lower position);
UTRIM: Upper position Trim (adjust with the actuator or mechanism in the upper position);
The ADDR and JOIN options are read-only and are used to identify the configuration address by
maintenance port and the device status on the WirelessHART
Write Protection
The write protection function can be activated by two ways: hardware (switch on main board) and
software. The writing of any parameter only will be able if both protections are disabled.
Another way to protect the writing, but partially, is using the Lock Device option (WirelessHART).
This option is used in WirelessHART devices to block the writing for only one configuration master,
Communication Port or Gateway. With this function user avoids configuration conflicts when acting by
one of the configurators in dangerous situations.
The types of locking are:
Unlocked: both configurators have write permission.
Temporarily Locked: only the configurator that locked the device has write permission.
However, after restarting the device its state returns to Unlocked.
Permanently Locked: only the configurator that locked the device has write permission, and its
state remains even after restarting the device.
All locked: no configurator has write permission until the device is unlocked by the same
configurator that locked it.
ATTENTION
The use of this function is intended only for special occasions, which the security parameter writing is critical and fast.
After writing, the configurator must return the device to the Unlocked mode.
