The tool uses the company’s Human Centered Design approach for an intuitive interface. Once connected, process variables and alerts are seen through the diagnostics display. ProLink III identifies fault conditions and separates them by severity, allowing the user to prioritize alerts. Additionally, the guided connection wizard, the simulated device feature and the offline configuration tool all help decrease commissioning time and reduce start-up costs by limiting the opportunity for mistakes. ProLink III is available in two editions, Basic and Professional, and supports HART, Modbus RS-485, and Modbus/TCP communications.
