In aspects, the present invention discloses a method for communicating with a plurality of field devices using a remote terminal unit. The plurality of field devices includes a first set of field devices and a second set of field devices capable of communicating using a first and second wireless communication protocols respectively. The method comprises scanning for a beacon message from a first field device, determining a corresponding wireless communication protocol associated from the first field device, identifying a first set of configuration blocks for communicating with the first field device based on a configuration schema file and the corresponding wireless communication protocol of the first field device, and building a protocol stack for use with a radio front end from the one or more radio front ends using the first set of configuration blocks, for communicating with the first field device from the plurality of field devices.
