9.6.2 Operation
The Field Communicator supports the DD Root Menu for online access to the device. The Root
Menu is implemented as a combination of the other standard menus Process Variables Root
Menu, Diagnostic Root Menu and Device Root Menu.
Operating the signal converter via the Field Communicator is very similar to manual device
control using the keyboard. The help attribute of each parameter contains its function number as
a reference to the local device display and the handbook.
Parameter protection for custody transfer is the same as on the device's local display. Other
specific protective functions such as the passwords for the quick setup menu and the setup
menu are not supported with HART
® .
The Field Communicator always saves a complete configuration for the exchange with AMS.
However, in the offline configuration and when sending to the device, the Field Communicator
only takes into account a partial parameter set (like the standard configuration of the old HART
®
Communicator 275).
9.7 Asset Management Solutions (AMS)
The Asset Management Solutions Device Manager (AMS) is a PC program from Emerson
Process Management which is designed to configure and manage HART
® , PROFIBUS and
Foundation-Fieldbus devices. Device Descriptions (DDs) are used to integrate different devices
into the AMS.
9.7.1 Installation
If the signal converter Device Description has not yet been installed on the AMS system, a so-
called Installation Kit HART
® AMS is required. It is available for download from the website or on
CD ROM.
For installation with the Installation Kit refer to the "AMS Intelligent Device Manager Books
Online" section "Basic Functionality / Device Information / Installing Device Types".
