Kongsberg Maritime
The Kongsberg System Interface lets you use AMS Device Manager to communicate
with HART devices using I/O modules supported by the Kongsberg Maritime System.
The Kongsberg Network communicates with HART devices using the Kongsberg
Automation Server which is an application with a Web Service interface.
The Kongsberg Network is deployed where there is access to the Kongsberg
Automation Server with IIS. It is not necessary to install the Kongsberg Automation
Server on an AMS Device Manager station, however, communications performance is
better with this deployment type. For deployment scenarios that require AMS Device
Manager Client Stations to cross External Firewalls, refer to KBA NA-0400-0046.
If you install additional Kongsberg Networks, they must be linked to unique
Automation Server URLs. The Kongsberg Network supports communications with
HART instruments connected to STAHL ISPac HART Multiplexers and STAHL
PROFIBUS DP Remote I/O modules for HART. The Kongsberg Interface supports
Advanced Valve Diagnostics using the AMS ValveLink SNAP-ON application.
