Siemens
The Siemens System Interface lets you use AMS Device Manager to communicate
with HART devices on a Siemens PCS 7 Control Network. An AMS Device Manager
Server Plus Station or Client SC Station must be installed on the same station as the
Siemens PCS 7 ES/MS Station. The AMS Device Manager Network Configuration
utility is used to configure the Siemens network interface.
Configuring AMS Device Manager for a Siemens
System Interface
To configure AMS Device Manager for a Siemens System Interface:
1. Select Start > All Programs > AMS Device Manager > Network Configuration
from the Windows taskbar.
2. Click Add.
3. In the Select Network Component Type dialog, select Siemens Network and
click Install.
4. Follow the Siemens Network Wizard instructions.
5. Choose the Rebuild Hierarchy Timeout and HART Response Timeout values.
6. Close the Network Configuration dialog.
7. Start AMS Device Manager. See “Determining the system interface structure
and device data” on page 108.
For additional information, refer to the Siemens Control Network documentation.
ABB
The ABB System Interface lets you use AMS Device Manager to view and configure
HART devices connected to I/O modules supported by the ABB System 800xA control
system.
Note
When configuring the ABB System Interface, the AMS Device Manager user must be the
same as the ABB user on the station that runs the “ABB HART Pass Though Service”.
