AMS Device Manager
Fully implement predictive diagnostics
to improve plant availability and reduce
maintenance costs
Congure and calibrate all your devices
using one software application
Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve
device issues remotely and efciently
View device health, calibration status, and
project tracking from anywhere with browser-
based AMS Device View
Automatically synchronize eld changes from
AMS Trex with asset database
AMS Device Manager provides predictive diagnostics, simplies eld
device conguration and calibration, and automatically documents
your assets.
Predictive Maintenance for
Instruments and Valves
AMS Device Manager reduces commissioning and maintenance
expenses while improving reliability and product quality. In
process industries where lost production from slower startups
and longer downtimes can cause millions of dollars in lost
revenue, plant personnel need accurate, real-time information.
AMS Device Manager saves you time and money by delivering
valuable diagnostic information already contained within
your plant in a clear, meaningful way. This means you can
act before the process is affected by poor quality, or worse,
a costly shutdown.
AMS Device Manager Core Capabilities
Diagnostics
Quickly check the health of any connected wired or wireless
device by viewing its status using the diagnostics and
monitoring capabilities in AMS Device Manager. With broad
asset coverage, AMS Device Manager provides predictive
diagnostics to deliver a more comprehensive account of
the health of your eld devices.
In addition, a powerful, proactive method of diagnosing
potential device problems is provided by the Alert Monitor.
The Alert Monitor summary screen provides an overview of all
device alerts, regardless of protocol, and gives you the ability
to access additional device information for more details.

AMS Device Manager
The Alert Monitor provides notication of alerts and status
information so you can prevent process upsets.
Alert latching allows you to identify new alerts and keep track of
existing ones. Alerts can also be easily ltered so you can quickly
see the information you need.
AMS Device Manager enables you to perform device self-tests
and loop tests, and automatically documents the results.
When your intelligent devices are online with AMS Device
Manager, you will know of problems occurring as they happen,
not when they have already affected your process and the
quality of your product.
Device Health Overview
Imagine knowing everyday with glance how your instrument
maintenance program is doing. Are there hidden problems in
your instruments that could cause a shutdown? Are you relying
on instruments that are overdue for calibration? Are your
commissioning, shutdown, outage, and turnaround projects on
track for completion?
AMS Device View extends your AMS Device Manager system
by delivering device health, calibration status, and project
information through a browser-based interface. With
AMS Device View, you can quickly see which devices need
maintenance and can view recommended actions – from any
place that there is a browser connection.
Through intuitive dashboards and focused alerts, technicians
can quickly access the data needed to respond quickly. And
when additional work is needed, AMS Device View can launch
the full AMS Device Manager system.
Configuration
AMS Device Manager makes conguration of devices simple,
easy, and user-friendly. Using conguration management you
can change, store, compare, and transfer device congurations.
WirelessHART
®
devices can be easily congured using the drag
and drop provisioning capability. Simply connect the wireless
device via a HART
®
modem and then drag and drop it onto the
wireless gateway. The network ID and join key are automatically
written to the device.
With F
oundation
™
eldbus devices, commissioning and replacing
devices can be done quickly and easily without the need for
user interaction with the software, getting you up and running
sooner and more efciently.
Conguration information is read from any device, allowing
you to make multiple changes simultaneously, compare
congurations of like devices, or historical congurations
on the same device. Setting up a new device conguration
is as easy as a couple of clicks. Simply transfer the existing
database conguration into the new device and you are
up and running. Digital valve controllers, ow devices,
multivariable transmitters, and wireless devices are
congured quickly and easily with AMS Device Manager.
Device conguration can also be done via DTM through the
DTM Launcher Application. If your devices require the use of
DTMs for advanced conguration or diagnostics, AMS Device
Manager can handle both DDs and DTMs.
Extend your asset management program with mobile-friendly
device health dashboards.
