Field Communicators
The 475 and 375 Field Communicators are portable, handheld communicators from
Emerson Process Management used in the field or in the shop to configure, test, and
diagnose HART and F
OUNDATION fieldbus devices. For information on using the 475 or
375, refer to the user’s manual that came with your Field Communicator.
The Handheld Communicator Interface is a licensable option that lets you use a Field
Communicator and AMS Device Manager together to transfer HART and F
OUNDATION
fieldbus data. The 475 communicates with an AMS Device Manager station using a
USB IrDA adapter (ordered separately) or the Microsoft Windows Bluetooth interface
on a Bluetooth-enabled PC. The 375 communicates with an AMS Device Manager
station using a USB IrDA adapter (ordered separately). You can communicate with
only one Field Communicator at a time on a PC. Communication between AMS
Device Manager and a connected Field Communicator is initiated by the AMS Device
Manager software. Once the Field Communicator is configured in the network, you
can see its icon (
Figure 2).
