Advanced Diagnostics

With the FieldConnex Advanced Diagnostic Module (ADM) the fieldbus physical layer and installation turn into a manageable asset. The ADM automates commissioning and documentation, monitors the fieldbus segment online, and identifies faults in realtime, enabling predictive and proactive maintenance strategies.
An embedded expert system learns and interprets the electric values and behavior of each segment. Plant maintenance receives early, easy-to-understand warnings. This is supported by the simple user display:
- Diagnostic display
- Commissioning wizard
- Segment monitoring views with NAMUR color indication according to NE 107
- Data export function for analysis of long-term trends
With the ADM, fieldbus is much easier to manage. Actionable information is available from the safety of the control room. Unnecessary trips into the field are avoided for the safety of personnel within the plant.
