Abstract
Methods, systems and devices for OTAP (Over the Air Provisioning) of WirelessHART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) devices. A unique system level setting can be provided for enabling over the air provisioning of WirelessHART devices in a WirelessHART network having one or more field device access points. Each field device access point can be configured to be enabled/disabled to advertise in a specific WirelessHART network ID in association with a target WirelessHART network ID with respect to the WirelessHART network. A join key is provided in association with a new WirelessHART network ID to which at least one field device access point among the plurality of field device access points needs to be advertised along with a time limit, thereby enabling provisioning of the WirelessHART devices to a target wireless network, wherein the target WirelessHART network ID and the join key are written with respect to a new WirelessHART device. The new WirelessHART device can be then restarted. The WirelessHART network can be then disabled after provisioning is complete.
