WirelessHART Test System Change Log

Current Released Version

Release 1.9 - Aug 2020

Pre-Requisites

HART Test System v3.6

The following changes are included in this release:

Wireless Application Layer Test Execution (v1.9)

Tests to be executed via the Access Point with a new HART-IP Server application called hipnmgw. These tests will no longer require an external gateway for execution.
These tests, when run individually, are to be invoked with a 'W' appended to the test type (e.g., UALW000 will execute UAL000 wirelesslessly, and CALW033 will execute CAL033 wirelessly). Similarly, runcalw and runualw will run the respective tests in a batch file.
CAL071B updated to run with the HART-IP Server.
Batch script runcalwburst added to execute burst mode Application Layer Tests (CALW103-CALW109) on WirelessHART devices. This script executes a subset of the tests executed by runcalw.

TDMA-Mesh Layer Scripts (v1.9)

No functional changes.
Improved control of some test configurations.
Improved messaging on terminal.

WIHTEST (1.9)

No major changes.
Improved messaging on terminal.

Hartmenu (1.9)

Replaced 'U' test invocation (via UDP) with 'W' invocations (wireless) to execute Application Layer tests wirelessly (e.g., UALWxxx instead of UALUxxx).
Updated implemented test lists.

WirelessHART Access Point (for new Kit-193 orders only)

Updated hardware (Revision 2.0)
WirelessHART Access Point Revision 2.0 is interchangeable with WirelessHART Access Point Revision 1.1.

Known Issues

Access Point hangs randomly, DR(dead) message requires a power cycle to the unit.
Some Secondary Master test cases fail, this is an open known issue to be addressed in a future release.
Logged message " cannot find device with tag "HCF-DUT" " is an open known issue to be addressed in a future release.
