Field Device Management
A Complete Field Device Management Architecture Built for Multi-Vendor, Multi-Protocol Plants.
Emerson delivers a complete Field Device Management ecosystem, via its AMS Reliability portfolio, that simplifies how plants configure, commission and maintain every smart field device in the facility. From handheld tools to centralized software and digital infrastructure, Emerson solutions work as a unified platform that supports all major protocols, integrates with any control system and increases device health visibility for operations, maintenance, reliability and digital transformation teams.
Emerson technology provides a software-first approach to advanced diagnostics so facilities can manage thousands of instruments, valves and other IIoT with consistency and confidence. Our solutions are developed at the cutting edge of connectivity, and support for HART®, FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus, WirelessHART®, PROFIBUS®, PROFINET®, Bluetooth®, Ethernet-APL™ and other industry-leading communication standards and protocols.
AMS Device Manager
The Premier Software Application For Centralized, Standards-Based Device Management
AMS Device Manager plant asset management (PAM) software provides real-time, online visibility into the health and performance of your intelligent instruments and control valves. It supports predictive maintenance, enabling teams to respond proactively to alerts, minimize unplanned shutdowns, and drive operational efficiency. Leveraging open protocols and Field Device Integration (FDI), AMS Device Manager connects seamlessly to devices from multiple vendors, simplifying management while reducing integration complexity.
AMS Device Manager offers seamless connectivity to Emerson control and safety systems like DeltaV and Ovation, as well as interface options for all other DCS, SIS and PLC automation vendors
AMS Trex Device Communicator
Streamline Field Maintenance and Troubleshooting with a Powerful Mobile Diagnostic Communicator
The AMS Trex Device Communicator empowers technicians to diagnose and troubleshoot HART®, FOUNDATION Fieldbus™, and Bluetooth® devices directly in the field. With real-time access to device configuration and diagnostics, you can identify issues on the spot, accelerate troubleshooting, and restore operations quickly—reducing unplanned downtime and enhancing safety.
Now re-engineered for faster performance, smoother operation, and a dramatically improved user experience, the next-gen AMS Trex offers noticeably faster processing and a streamlined interface, NIST-traceable calibration for unmatched measurement accuracy, embedded Bluetooth® connectivity for seamless wireless integration, and a durable, intrinsically safe design built to withstand the toughest conditions.
Boundless Automation: Turning Complexity Into Clarity
The days of easy reliability wins in the plant are over. With most simple problems already solved, teams are now tackling more complex, enterprise-wide challenges. Connective, enterprise-level software like AMS Optics empowers plant teams to transform overwhelming data into actionable insights.
By leveraging a boundless automation vision, AMS Optics ensures seamless data mobility—from the intelligent field to the edge and into the cloud. With connectivity via open standards like OPC UA and MQTT, AMS Optics consolidates critical information into a single, intuitive dashboard, enabling teams to monitor, analyze, and automate corrective actions from a centralized system.
