NOTE!
• Diagnostic information is available only after the applicable statistics period has been completed
(15 minutes). During this time, some information is set to 0 or replaced by wildcard characters.
Details shows all devices in the WirelessHART network together with their diagnostic information.
Whenever a wireless device joins the network, it is automatically inserted into the list if it is not
already there. Wired devices connected to a WirelessHART adapter are also be inserted. To remove
a device from the list, use the Instrument List. For more information, see Chapter 10.1.

Details parameters
Parameter Meaning
Tree-View • Checked: Table displayed according to wireless and wired connections, see above
• Unchecked: Table displayed according to adapter and device join time
Instrument Identification Displays information identifying the device:
• Long Tag: Long Tag of connected device (= Message for devices < HART 6.0)
• IO card: Identifier of fieldgate card used by the device
• Channel: Identifier of card channel used by the device
• Device Type: Designation of connected device
• Status: Communication status of the associated device
– Connected
– Flashing: Device connected, being identified
– Continuous: Device connected but not identified
– Communication failure
• Dev. Status: Device status of the associated device
– Good
– Out of specification
– Failure
The device status displayed in the Operating Modes list may differ from the actual device
status because the HART status bits may be interpreted differently.
Number of Joins Number of times the device has joined the network
Join Time Date of the last time the device joined the network
Reliability Percentage of the packets generated by the wireless devices that were correctly received
by the gateway
Latency Average time taken for packets generated by the wireless devices to reach the gateway
+/- Show/hide the list of neighbouring devices
Neighbors Neighbouring WirelessHART devices in reach of the selected device
RSSI Indicates the power of the signal received from the selected device by the named
neighboring device
Stability Ratio of successful packet transmissions to the total number of packet transmissions on all
wireless paths in the network
