Handheld Field Device Diagnostics

Oct. 2, 2009
Billed as the next generation in handheld communicator technology, the 475 Field Communicator extends beyond device configuration functionality to provide advanced device diagnostic and troubleshooting capabilities in the field and on the bench so users can work more efficiently. 
Users can update their Communicator via the Internet, and through Bluetooth communication, can update the Communicator with the latest Device Descriptions for their field devices. A further advance is the full-color LCD display that provides an intuitive graphical interface to support trend charts, gauges and graphics available in enhanced Device Descriptions. Quick boot-up and fast operating time mean that jobs can be performed quickly and easily while longer battery life ensures days, not hours, of operation, says the vendor. The intrinsically safe 475 Field Communicator supports Hart, WirelessHart, and Foundation fieldbus devices. Emerson Process Managementwww.emersonprocess.com800.999.930
