I ISA100 device configuration
I-1 Introduction
This part and Appendix-F describe device configuration and related procedures of field wireless
networks conforming to ISA100.11a, the wireless communication standard for industrial
automation prescribed by the International Society of Automation (ISA).
ISA100 device can be accessed via Gateway and infrared with FieldMate. Setting and
adjustment can be performed on device DTM. Plus Provisioning also can be implemented by
Provisioning Device Tool provided in FiledMate in order for ISA100 device to join the wireless
network.
With regards to FieldMate Provisioning Device Tool, please refer to Appendix G.

 Hardware
Field Wireless Gateway (YFGW): The core device of a wireless network
Wireless field devices (wireless EJX, wireless YTA): Field instruments that measure a process
value to transmit it in wireless form
 Operation
(1) FieldMate: Software for setting parameters called “Provisioning” to the field wireless devices
by infrared communication to join the devices in the wireless network before wireless field
devices are installed.
For details of the FieldMate Provisioning Device Tool, refer to Appendix H.
(2) FieldMate: This acquires/sets information on ISA100 wireless devices via YFGW.
(3) FieldMate: This acquires/sets information on ISA100 wireless devices in infrared
communication.
