In process plants owners and EPCs alike realize the benefits from intelligent field devices and fieldbus communication. Typical aspects that fieldbus users deal with are proper cable termination, EMC, insulation levels or faulty hardware, all of which are pinpointed quickly and efficiently with the new Advanced Diagnostics Module (ADM) for the FieldConnex® Power Hub. The ADM supervises the quality of fieldbus communication from remote at the engineering station. Removing repetitive commissioning tasks Advanced Diagnostics will automatically generate documentation per segment and per device. The ADM's monitoring includes trending and alarming, which alerts plant management to signal degradation thereby enabling pro-active intervention and increased plant uptime.
