AMS software communicates over Profibus
network
Emerson with Trebing and Himstedt have developed the ability to communicate with HART devices over a Profibus network, making AMS predictive maintenance software more widely available
The extended abilities build on the position of AMS as the de facto standard for field device software as acknowledged by ARC (Strategies Report Feb 2001) Customers using HART instruments and valves with remote I/O systems on their Profibus networks now have the ability to use the diagnostics from the HART communication protocol and AMS software to configure, calibrate, and diagnose faults for improved plant availability and performance

Emerson adds DeviceNet and PROFIBUS DP protocols
Emerson Process Management has introduced communication options for the Micro Motion 2400S transmitter.
The intelligent field devices are connected to a remote I/O system, which communicates with a software interface via the Profibus network and Profibus gateway hardware.
The intelligence from the HART devices is transmitted to AMS through this hardware and software.
Additionally, the Trebing and Himstedt Profibus scope allows customers to configure the Profibus network and can be accessed directly from within AMS.
AMS offers remote access through OPC and AMS web, an Internet Explorer based application.
AMS can interface to CMMS and ERP solutions, using web services or OPC, enabling users to take full advantage of field device information in management decision-making processes.
As part of their ongoing commitment to openness, Emerson actively supports the efforts of all manufacturers of field devices by making available the tools to fully integrate their devices and advanced diagnostics capabilities into AMS.
In this way, Emerson provides added value to AMS users. Request a free brochure from Emerson Process Management ...
