l Notes on Changing Device Role
▪ When the network is mesh topology, this task does not affect the process data communica-
tion of other field wireless devices and the communication with the control system. Namely,
the process data of other field wireless devices does not become bad or IOP in HMI of
Yokogawa's control system.
▪ The field wireless device is automatically restarted during the download.
▪ When changing the device role of a field wireless device from Router to IO + Router or IO,
perform the task of “Defining Process Data Communication” of “User Application Engineer-
ing” in section B1.2.2.5, and the task of “Defining Modbus Register Map,” if necessary.
▪ When setting the device role of a device to IO + Router, the battery power consumption of
the device is greater than when setting the device role to IO or Router.
