Expanded Predictive Reach

Jan. 1, 2006
Version 7.0 of the AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager expands the reach of predictive technology of the vendor’s PlantWeb digital plant architecture.

Version 7.0 enables AMS Device Manager to support the vendor’s new Smart Remote Automation technology, and also increases connectivity options, including High Speed Ethernet (HSE) interface for Foundation fieldbus devices. Version 7.0 supports all Hart and Foundation fieldbus devices, including the vendor’s new transmitter that delivers diagnostic information to enable display of health and status of motor pumps. Real-time-Hart and Foundation fieldbus information is integrated in a single application that includes a single alert monitor to watch over all devices, and one audit trail that maintains accurate records of those devices. This unified approach means that one set of work practices can be established for all instrument management. AMS Device Manager enables users to reduce the time required to troubleshot, configure and calibrate field devices through easy access to device diagnostics and best-in-class user interfaces, says the vendor.
