Device Dashboards improve field-device visibility

Emerson Process Management has introduced a range of more than 50 Device Dashboards for its AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager.

The new dashboards provide, in one glance, a clear view of everything that users need to evaluate, diagnose and configure a field device.

Each one features embedded expert guidance to streamline the most important and frequent tasks performed by plant operations, engineering and maintenance personnel.

The new displays provide a device interface that is in a category by itself, elevating traditional device interfaces to the easy-to-use human-centric dashboard.

The Device Dashboards are powered by enhanced Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL).

They function independently of protocol, including HART, WirelessHART, Foundation fieldbus or Profibus and present data in a similar user experience regardless of the device.

They are suitable for use by experienced and inexperienced workers.

All landing screens follow a similar format, including red-yellow-green device status graphics to alert users and enable a direct link to graphical diagnostic and troubleshooting help.

The same screens show a graphical display of the primary variable of devices and shortcuts to the most-used tasks.

Easy configuration is a click away.

Guided set-up helps to configure complex devices.

If desired, more experienced users can access manual set-up data and more detailed information.
