Overview

This document provides a detailed description of the Application Programming Interface (API) used to interact with the SmartMesh WirelessHART Manager. It defines the communication protocols, specifically XML and XML-RPC, utilized across two primary channels: the Control Channel for issuing commands and the Notification Channel for receiving real-time data and system events. The guide covers a wide range of administrative tasks including device authentication, network configuration (LTC5800-WHM, LTP5903), security key exchange, and Over-the-Air Programming (OTAP). It serves as a comprehensive reference for developers building host applications to manage industrial wireless sensor networks, offering detailed command structures for mote management, path optimization, and health reporting.

Use Cases

  • Developing host applications for industrial WirelessHART network management
  • Integrating mesh network sensors into enterprise IoT platforms
  • Configuring and monitoring network health and connectivity statistics
  • Implementing Over-the-Air Programming (OTAP) for remote device updates
  • Managing security keys and device authentication in industrial environments
