From the Very First Click – Mobile Fieldbus Diagnostics at the Touch of a Button

The fieldbus diagnostic handheld makes quality assurance of the fieldbus installation just as straightforward as the commissioning process. The device's simple handling represents a real advantage and no special knowledge is required. As a stand-alone solution, no PC is needed. Instead, the device can be easily connected to any fieldbus segment. Testing begins using "single-click operation."

The new FieldConnex® fieldbus diagnostic handheld is similar to a multimeter, but can do so much more. For example, an integrated expert system interprets the measured values. It detects the errors that are present and knows exactly where they are located. It also provides a simple explanation of how to correct the error. In addition, the commissioning wizard ensures that the FDH-1 offers maximum ease of use right from the start with guided dialogs.

The FDH-1 from Pepperl+Fuchs makes the fieldbus installation simple to handle, providing the ideal basis for fault-free operation and maximum availability of process equipment. The handheld device is approved for use in all hazardous areas and with all types of explosion protection.
