	DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS

1.7 FOUNDATION FIELDBUS

Figure 1-4 shows a 5081-T-FF being used to measure conductivity. The figure also shows three ways in which Fieldbus communication can be used to read process variables and configure the transmitter.

1.8 ASSET MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

Asset Management Solutions (AMS) is software that helps plant personnel better monitor the performance of analytical instruments, pressure and temperature transmitters, and control valves. Continuous monitoring means maintenance per- sonnel can anticipate equipment failures and plan preventative measures before costly breakdown maintenance is required.

AMS uses remote monitoring. The operator, sitting at a computer, can view measurement data, change program settings, read diagnostic and warning messages, and retrieve historical data from any HART-compatible device, including the Model 5081-T transmitter. Although AMS allows access to the basic functions of any HART compatible device, Rosemount Analytical has developed additional software for that allows access to all features of the Model 5081-T transmitter.

AMS can play a central role in plant quality assurance and quality control. Using AMS Audit Trail, plant operators can track calibration frequency and results as well as warnings and diagnostic messages. The information is available to Audit Trail whether calibrations were done using the infrared remote controller, the Model 375 HART communicator, or AMS software.

AMS operates in Windows 95. See Figure 1-5 for a sample screen. AMS communicates through a HART-compatible modem with any HART transmitters, including those from other manufacturers. AMS is also compatible with FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus, which allows future upgrades to Fieldbus instruments.

Rosemount Analytical AMS windows provide access to all transmitter measurement and configuration variables. The user can read raw data, final data, and program settings and can reconfigure the transmitter from anywhere in the plant.
