Preparing the DeltaV system
To prepare a DeltaV control system to communicate with a standalone AMS Device
Manager station, you need to:
• Know the node name of the DeltaV ProfessionalPLUS Station you are
connecting to. If you do not know this name, see your system administrator.
• Know the password associated with the DeltaVAdmin account on the
ProfessionalPLUS Station, if it has been changed from the default password.
• Configure a HART-Enabled Channel so that AMS Device Manager knows where
to look for a HART field device. If an I/O channel is enabled for HART but it does
not have an associated DeltaV device signal tag, it will not appear in AMS Device
Manager.
• Commission any FOUNDATION fieldbus devices you want to be displayed in AMS
Device Manager.
Configuring AMS Device Manager for a DeltaV System
Interface
To configure AMS Device Manager for a DeltaV System Interface:
1. Select Start > All Programs > AMS Device Manager > Network Configuration
from the Windows taskbar.
2. In the Network Configuration dialog, click Add.
3. In the Select Network Component Type dialog, select DeltaV Network and click
Install.
4. Click Next.
5. On the General dialog, enter a name for the DeltaV Network. Click Next.
6. On the Connection dialog, enter the computer name of the DeltaV
ProfessionalPLUS Station.
Note
You must only configure the DeltaV Interface on a licensed AMS Device Manager station.
Computer administrator privileges are required to install a DeltaV Interface.
Do not configure a DeltaV Interface to the same DeltaV ProfessionalPLUS on more than one
AMS Device Manager station in a distributed system.
Ensure that all stations in the AMS Device Manager distributed system are running when
you configure the DeltaV System Interface.
