It is possible to perform some wireless device commissioning tasks with a handheld communicator but to complete commissioning you must use DeltaV Explorer.
Start by using the handheld communicator to configure the long tag, network ID, join key, and publishing interval. The device joins the mesh network.
Refer to the user documentation of your handheld for precise information on how to configure those items.
Now move to DeltaV Explorer to complete the commissioning. The actions to take and the results depend on the state of the configuration in DeltaV Explorer.
Drag the device to the placeholder. If the manufacturer and device type of the device and the placeholder match, the operation proceeds. If the revision of the device does not match that of the placeholder, a warning appears and you have the choice of updating the revision or cancelling the operation. If you choose to update, the revision, device ID, and long tag of the placeholder are updated with those read from the device. The DeltaV tag (the DST tag shown in the DeltaV Explorer hierarchy) does not change.
When the device joins the mesh network, it appears in the Decommissioned Wireless Devices folder of the WIOC. The long tag, manufacturer's name, device type, revision, and device ID are shown in the details view of DeltaV Explorer.
Drag the device to the WIOC icon. A placeholder is created, and the manufacturer, device type, revision, device ID, and long tag of the placeholder are set with those read from the device. If the long tag is a valid (16 characters or less, all from the allowable character set) and the DeltaV tag (DST) is unique the DeltaV tag is copied from the long tag. Otherwise, you are prompted to enter a valid tag.
The HART Long Tag Help applies only to HART Devices conforming to HART 7 (or higher).
The DeltaV system looks for an uncommissioned placeholder that matches the device's long tag, manufacturer, device type and revision.
A newly created placeholder's long tag is initially the HART specified value for no tag (a 32-character string filled with question marks). This tag matches any tag configured in a device. If the placeholder tag has any other value it is compared to the device tag.
If the tags match the device ID and long tag of the placeholder are updated with those read from the device.
