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".
9.7.2 Operation
AMS supports the Process Variables Root Menu, Diagnostic Root Menu and Device Root Menu for
online access to the device.
Operating the signal converter via the AMS Device Manager is 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 and service 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
® .
When copying configurations in AMS, unit parameters need to be transferred first. Otherwise
related parameters may be not transferred correctly. When the compare view has been opened
during a copy process, go at first to the units section of the device menu ("Detailed Setup /
Device / Units") and transfer all unit parameters. Note that read-only parameters need to be
transferred individually!
INFORMATION!
Please read the "readme.txt", which is also contained in the Installation Kit.
