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 AMS Functionality / Device Configurations / Installing Device Types /
Procedures /Install device types from media".
9.7.2 Operation
Due to AMS requirements and conventions, there are differences when operating the signal
converter with AMS and operating using the local keyboard. The online help for each parameter
contains its function number as a reference to the local device display.
Parameter protection for custody transfer and the service menu 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
® .
9.7.3 Parameter for the basic configuration
In online mode, the measurements for counters and diagnosis values can be changed by using
the appropriate methods in the basic configuration menu. These parameters are read-only in
offline mode.
INFORMATION!
Please read the "readme.txt", which is also contained in the Installation Kit.
