Ovation
The Ovation System Interface lets AMS Device Manager communicate with HART,
FOUNDATION fieldbus, PROFIBUS DP, and WirelessHART devices through an existing
Ovation network. The Ovation network communicates with devices through one or
more Ovation controllers. HART devices communicate with the Ovation controller
through I/O modules specifically designed to communicate with HART equipment.
F
OUNDATION fieldbus devices communicate with the Ovation controller through I/O
modules designed to communicate with F
OUNDATION fieldbus devices. PROFIBUS DP
devices communicate using I/O modules designed for PROFIBUS. WirelessHART
devices communicate through the Smart Wireless Gateway. Device information is
passed through the Ovation controller to a Windows-based Ovation Station from
which AMS Device Manager accesses device data.
See “Ovation” on page 34 for
supported I/O modules.
FOUNDATION fieldbus device commissioning and decommissioning is accomplished
through the Ovation fieldbus engineering software used by the Ovation system. AMS
Device Manager is not part of this process. A F
OUNDATION fieldbus device must be
commissioned before AMS Device Manager can communicate with it.
Preparing the Ovation system
Refer to your Ovation documentation for device connection and network setup
instructions.
For Ovation 3.3.1 and 3.4, the AMS Device Manager Server Plus Station must be co-
deployed on an Ovation Station with the Ovation fieldbus engineering software
installed for F
OUNDATION fieldbus device support. Configure the Ovation System
Interface on this station.
For Ovation 3.5, the fieldbus engineering software is located on the Ovation
Database Server. Therefore, it is recommended to install AMS Device Manager Client
SC software on this station type. To install and register this software on an Ovation
Operator station type, you must run an Ovation batch file on the Ovation Operator
station.
To run the batch file on the Ovation Operator station:
1. Select Start > Run from the Windows taskbar.
2. In the text box, type CMD and click OK to open a command prompt.
3. At the command prompt, type: 
CD C:\OVATION\OVATIONBASE
4. Press ENTER.
