FieldCare Device Setup ...

Field Device Tool (FDT)FDT is a standardized interface specification that allows the integration of intelligent devices into, for example, asset management and process control systems. All configuration and communication information is carried in Device Type Management (DTM) programs (DeviceDTMs and CommDTMs) supplied by the vendor. The DTMs run under the control of a FDT frame application:

• Open technology, independent of device or system supplier

• Independent of device type (sensor, actuator, remote I/O etc.)

• Full support of installed base• Full device functionality• Independent of communication protocol – Ethernet,

HART, PROFIBUS, FOUNDATION fieldbus ...• Vertical integration by nested communication

FDT connected

FieldCare Device Setup is Endress+Hauser’s universal FDT-based tool for configuring devices and various system components. If not delivered with the device, it can be downloaded free-of-charge from www.endress.com. Device Setup provides basic parameterization and diagnosis functions, and can be upgraded for Plant Asset Management solutions by purchasing the appropriate license.

Features

• Operates all Endress+Hauser devices• Supports HART, PROFIBUS and

FOUNDATION fieldbus protocols• Supplied with complete library of certified

DTMs for Endress+Hauser devices• Has integrated CommDTMs and drivers• Automatically scans for devices• Is the first FDT frame application to be

certified by the FDT Group• Languages EN, DE, FR, ES, IT, CH, JP• Supports Windows XP®, Windows Vista®,

Windows Server 2003® and Windows 7®

HART/WirelessHART

Devices using the HART protocol can be parameterized on the test bench or in situ by making a point-to-point connection via a HART modem. The modem may connect to the (laptop) computer via a USB plug or Bluetooth wireless connection.

PROFIBUS DP and PROFIBUS PA

PROFIBUS devices are parameterized in situ through a direct connection via a Class 1 master that supports FDT technology. Alternatively a bypass connection via a Class 2 master, e.g. Fieldgate FXA720 can be used. Diagnosis information can also be collected via the PROFIBUS network.

FOUNDATION fieldbus

For FOUNDATION fieldbus devices, the user has the choice of parameterizing in situ via the Controller, provided this supports FDT technology, or a visitor device, e.g. Fieldgate SFC162. Parameterization is also possible on the workbench using the SFC162 in controller mode and in future by employing a FOUNDATION fieldbus modem. Diagnosis information can be collected via the FOUNDATION fieldbus network.

Universal tool

Device diagnosisEndress+Hauser devices offer device diagnosis based on the NAMUR NE107 recommendation. In the example, an empty pipe has been detected by a Promass 83 FOUNDATION fieldbus device

ParameterizationOff and on-line parameterization allows devices to be configured in both the engineering and commissioning phases. Set up is quick, simple, transparent and includes analog input or output blocks for fieldbus devices.

FieldCare PAM license ...

A PAM license extends FieldCare capabilities beyond those of Device Setup, providing a scalable solution that can be tailored to user requirements.

Features

• Operates all devices with native DTM• Operates all registered HART, PROFIBUS

and FOUNDATION fieldbus devices via iDTM (option)

• Protection against unauthorized access• Document management in interactive

plant view• Device reports• Condition monitoring (option)• W@M connectivity• Update service (option)• All round support

Document Management

FieldCare Plant View allows the plant network to be mapped and documents to be stored at each of the nodes.

Update Service

Users signing up for the optional update service, receive regular updates of DTM libraries and software.

Support

Endress+Hauser offers all round support in engineering, commissioning and maintaining your PAM solution.

iDTM

An iDTM inteprets the DD/EDD of a fieldbus device making it configurable in FieldCare. iDTMs are currently available for HART and FOUNDATION fieldbus, with PROFIBUS in preparation. The iDTM option includes all DDs/EDDs that are registered with the associated user group.

User Management

Access to plant information is controlled by user name and password. Users are assigned specific access rights, e.g. viewing only, full configuration rights, etc.

Plant-wide access

FieldCare PAM provides plant-wide access to field devices using nested CommDTMs, DTMs and iDTMs.

LinearizationThis DTM function allows strapping tables to be generated for various tank shapes as well as for open channels and weirs

iDTMAny registered field device without a native DTM can be operated with an iDTM. iDTMs are optional and associated with a communication protocol

Envelope CurveAs a standard DTM function for time-of-flight level transmitters, the envelope curve allows operation to be optimized in critical applications

W@M ConnectivityFor W@M account holders, the “Device in Network” function connects directly via Internet to device data in Endress+Hauser’s database

Network and Plant ViewDevice DTMs and iDTMs are opened from Network View, which is created during project set-up. A Plant View, mapping the network, can also be created and used to store device certificates, drawings etc.

ReportsFieldCare offers a number of reports which detail the status of software components and the configuration of devices used in the system

Monitoring critical devices ...

Proof of Function

Condition Monitoring can also be used to prove functionality. Many Liquiphants are used in overspill protection applications where regular functional tests are required by company regulations or national law. By monitoring the operating frequency range, the user can not only provide proof of function without interruption of the process for mechanical tests, but also receives advanced warning of any corrosion or build-up on the forks.

Evidence is provided in the form of printable trend analyses or device reports.

Condition Monitoring

The optional Condition Monitoring module extracts information from selected devices and alerts users of a tendency towards failure. Since Condition Monitoring combines operating and instrument know-how, it is always engineered together with potential users expressly for their needs.

Features

• Viewable from any computer via Web Browser

• Alerts via e-mail, ODBC server or mobile• Diagnosis in conformance with NAMUR

NE107• Advanced warning of tendency to failure• Additional information to enable informed

decision making• Field reports of specific plant areas or cells• Historical device reports with time stamp

W@M Connectivity

W@M connectivity comes with the basic PAM license, but must be activated before use. It allows the Endress+Hauser W@M Internet portal to be opened from a device node in the Network View or connects to a locally installed W@M Enterprise application.

Features

• Manufacturing history of selected device• Original calibration• Device documentation, drawings etc.• Product availability and replacements• Spare part finder• Service and repair informtion

For users with a W@M account:• Mapping of plant complete with

measuring point tags• Storage of configurations, documents etc.

also for 3rd party devices• Comparison of configurations

W@M connectivity allows the user to connect to Endress+Hauser’s device database where the complete manufacturing history of a product is stored

Device Configuration History

As of FieldCare version 2.08, off and online device configurations can be uploaded to a W@M Hosting or Enterprise application, providing a historical record of device settings.

Should a device be replaced by another with a different firmware version, it is possible to compare the current settings (and parameters) with those of the previous device. The user needs only click on the device node in the network view and select the compare function. Differences in parameters and settings are then highlighted in red.
