MODEL XMT-P PH/ORP SECTION 14.0
THEORY - REMOTE COMMUNICATIONS
If your communicator does not recognize the Model XMT-P pH/ORP transmitter, the device description library may need
updating. Call the manufacturer of your HART communication device for updates.
14.3 ASSET MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS
Asset Management Solutions (AMS) is software that helps plant personnel better monitor the performance of analytical
instruments, pressure and temperature transmitters, and control valves. Continuous monitoring means maintenance per-
sonnel can anticipate equipment failures and plan preventative measures before costly breakdown maintenance is
required.
AMS uses remote monitoring. The operator, sitting at a computer, can view measurement data, change program settings,
read diagnostic and warning messages, and retrieve historical data from any HART-compatible device, including the Model
XMT-P pH/ORP transmitter. Although AMS allows access to the basic functions of any HART compatible device,
Rosemount Analytical has developed additional software for that allows access to all features of the Model XMT-P pH/ORP
transmitter.
AMS can play a central role in plant quality assurance and quality control. Using AMS Audit Trail, plant operators can track
calibration frequency and results as well as warnings and diagnostic messages. The information is available to Audit Trail
whether calibrations were done using the infrared remote controller, the Model 375 or 275 HART communicator, or AMS
software.
AMS operates in Windows 95. See Figure 14-2 for a sample screen. AMS communicates through a HART-compatible
modem with any HART transmitters, including those from other manufacturers. AMS is also compatible with
FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus, which allows future upgrades to Fieldbus instruments.
