Streamline interlock checkout by grouping, monitoring and xing
the output of HART transmitters from the convenience of your
AMS Device Manager workstation.
Overview
The interlock checkout phase of a new plant is critical to
the safety and success of the project. During this time,
technicians check the proper response of the process control
system against simulated normal and emergency conditions.
If a digital control system (DCS) controls the process, simulation
software checks the DCS conguration and programming, but
it does not verify the operation of the eld devices or wiring.
AMS Device Manager and QuickCheck can help you verify all
wiring from the eld to the control room, allowing you to focus
on checking the DCS conguration and your DCS logic.
Enhance Safety, Save Time and
Improve the Bottom Line
Sending technicians into the field with handheld
communicators to manually place smart devices in loop test
mode is time intensive and may expose the field technician to
a variety of hazards including heights, temperature extremes
and chemicals. With the QuickCheck SNAP-ON application, you
can group, monitor and fix the output of HART transmitters
from the safety of an AMS Device Manager workstation. A single
database allows group creation and execution from the server
plus or any Client SC station.

Document QuickCheck Activities
As device outputs are xed and released, QuickCheck writes
entries to the AMS Device Manager Audit Trail giving you a
complete history of the checkout process. You can also
generate reports specic to QuickCheck activities. For instance,
create a report on device status, so a device is not accidentally
left in a xed output mode. You can also generate a report
showing which devices are currently in write-protect mode,
so you can make adjustments if necessary.
Produce QuickView Configuration Reports
View your eld device conguration parameters as read from
the installed device. Compile conguration data directly from
the device, and produce reports or export the data for use with
external programs.
A QuickReport for a single device type provides live data for
each available parameter to facilitate easier report building.
The Plant Explorer
The QuickCheck Plant Explorer scans your network and detects
host systems, their network components and connected HART
devices. The physical network is represented in the QuickCheck
user interface with graphics consistent with AMS Device
Manager’s Device Connection view.
When a device is in the fixed output mode, its icon displays a
red background. When a device is in the write protect mode,
the icon displays a green background. This gives you a quick
way to reference the status of the device.
The Audit Trail automatically records QuickCheck status alerts. Alert information is always up-to-date and right at your ngertips.
