Description

The RAD-WHG/WLAN-XD is a WirelessHART gateway

with integrated 802.11b/g WLAN transceiver. It can connect
up to 250 WirelessHART field devices and convert the
HART data to Modbus TCP for easy integration into
almost any asset management system. The connection can
be made via the onboard Ethernet port or the WLAN client
transceiver, and the HART to Modbus TCP mapping is
automatic.

Features
WirelessHART gateway supports up to 250
WirelessHART devices
Integrated 802.11b/g with 802.11i security
Converts HART to Modbus TCP
Simple programming via embedded web server
128-bit AES encryption
WEP, WPA or WPA2/802.11i encryption

The RAD-WHG/WLAN-XD is configurable via an embedded

web server. System diagnostics are also available through
the web server or locally, an RF Link relay indicates if the
WLAN connection is present, and the strength of the WLAN
signal can be measured at the RSSI test point as an analog
voltage.
The WirelessHART data is protected with 128-bit AES
encryption and the WLAN data utilizes WEP, WPA, or
WPA2/802.11i for encryption.

Make sure you always use the latest documentation.

Installation Notes

Installation, operation, and maintenance may only be

carried out by qualified electricians. Follow the installation
instructions described. When installing and operating the
device, the applicable regulations and safety directives
(including national safety directives), as well as general
technical regulations, must be observed. Observe the
technical data in this data sheet and subsequent
documentation (www.phoenixcontact.com).
In order to protect the modules against electrostatic
discharge when working on control cabinets, the
operating personnel must remove electrostatic
discharge before opening control boxes or control
cabinets and before touching the modules.
The modules are snapped onto a DIN rail within a
control cabinet or control box. The control cabinet/box
must meet the requirements of EN/IEC 60950-1:2001 in
terms of fire protection shielding.
The device must not be opened or modified. Do not
repair the device yourself; replace it with an equivalent
device. Repairs may only be carried out by Phoenix
Contact. The manufacturer is not liable for damage
resulting from violation.
The IP20 degree of protection (EN/IEC 60529) of the
device is intended for use in a clean and dry
environment. The device must not be subject to any
strain or load, which exceeds the limits described.
In the electrical system of the building, a 2-pos.
disconnecting device must be provided to isolate the
equipment from the supply circuit.

WARNING:
Correct usage in potentially explosive areas.
The device is not designed for use in
atmospheres with a danger of dust
explosions.
Observe the specified conditions for use in
potentially explosive areas.
Install the device in housing (control or
distributor box) that meets the requirements
of EN/IEC 60079-15 and has at least IP54
protection (EN/IEC 60529).
Only passive antennas may be operated on
the devices.
When installing and connecting the supply
and signal circuits, observe the requirements
of EN/IEC 60079-14. Only devices which are
designed for operation in Ex zone 2 and are
suitable for the conditions at the installation
location may be connected to the circuits in
zone 2.

The device is designed for installation in zone 2 potentially

explosive areas.
