Channel Blacklist Where several wireless networks are in operation on a site and all are critical for plant operation, it
is advisable to set up them up such a way that mutual interference is avoided. This is done by
restricting the channels on which a particular network can broadcast.
In general, a WirelessHART network dynamically adapts channel usage to new situations, for
example if a new wireless network is installed in the area where the WirelessHART network is
located. If WLAN and WirelessHART are used together in a production environment, it is necessary
to set up channel usage manually in the Channel Blacklist.
It should be noted that a WLAN channel based on the IEEE 802.11 standard is wider than a
WirelessHART channel based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. If a WirelessHART network is to be
run parallel to a IEEE 802.11 network, several WirelessHART channels must be disabled. Also note
that the channel numbering differs for each type of network:
For example: If the WLAN uses channel number 5, channels 5 to 8 in the WirelessHART network
must be disabled.
Disabling channels 1 Disable a channel by deactivating its check box in the Channel Blacklist
– The number of remaining active channels must be odd
– At least 5 channels must remain active.
2 Click Send to Device to transfer the updated blacklist settings to the Fieldgate
– Fieldgate stores the updated blacklist but does not apply the updated settings until
the network is reformed.
3Go to Additional Functions > Reset and click Reform Network to apply the updated
channel blacklist.
