Overview
AMS Device Manager allows you to track the health of your
intelligent devices, sending critical alerts to operations and
maintenance to help prevent an interruption in your process.
Using the AlertTrack SNAP-ON application, you can congure
alerts using additional instrument data that monitors process
ambient conditions, process connections, and process inputs.
AlertTrack then directs these alerts to the right people in the
plant. Critical safety incidents, like a safety shower alert, can be
sent to the health and safety ofcer, whereas a process upset
alert will be sent to operations and maintenance.
With the AlertTrack
SNAP-ON application, you gain visibility
to the health of your eld devices and documentation of
parameter changes. You can also route alerts to your cell phone
or mobile device for on-the-go notication of device health or
process environment conditions.
The AlertTrack SNAP-ON allows you to:
Group multiple devices and set parameters to be scanned
and documented.
Analyze trends to identify problem assets.
Access AlertTrack messages through the AMS Device
Manager Alert Monitor and Audit Trail or your mobile device.
Take corrective action before assets fail or production
is interrupted.
The AlertTrack SNAP-ON application evaluates and reports asset
health based on dened alert conditions, while documenting data
at a dened user rate.

AlertTrack SNAP-ON Application
Clear Picture of Valve Performance
You can assign an hourly, daily, or monthly scan cycle to a group
of valves performing similar work. The AlertTrack SNAP-ON
application stores valve cycle and travel accumulation data
in an SQL database, removing the need for maintenance
personnel to manually record and enter it. View data trends in
Excel or other SQL-compatible tools to compare performance
across valves and identify areas for process improvement.
Identify Root Cause and Improve Equipment Life
Imagine a valve in your process begins to cycle more frequently,
indicating a process, tuning, or valve assembly problem. The
AlertTrack SNAP-ON application will report this excessive rate
of change in valve cycles and will help maintenance to
determine the root cause.
What happens when you have a heat trace that has tripped
leading to a frozen impulse line on your pressure transmitter?
The AlertTrack SNAP-ON application will notify you when
internal device temperatures fall, allowing you to save the
line before it is frozen. You can keep your device active and
accurate, while ensuring that your process keeps running.
Imagine a valve packing leak causes the valve positioner to be
exposed to extremely high temperatures. With the AlertTrack
SNAP-ON application, this event is automatically documented,
evaluated, and reported in the AMS Device Manager Alert
Monitor and Audit Trail.
An alert is also sent to the technician on duty via cell phone
or pager, allowing maintenance to identify and correct the
problem before equipment is damaged.
The AlertTrack SNAP-ON application allows you to pinpoint trouble spots in your process directly from the control room or from your mobile
device. Customize safety alerts to reduce exposure of plant personnel to hazardous conditions in the eld.
