The Advanced Diagnostic Module (ADM) for the FieldConnex Power Hub measures the fieldbus physical layer and brings transparency and control to fieldbus installations. Engineering contractors, commissioning experts, plant operators and maintenance specialists gain visibility into fieldbus communication for faster commissioning work, longer plant uptime and efficient trouble-shooting.
The ADM monitors a comprehensive set of measurements. Data is transmitted to the maintenance workstation online and in real-time for display on easy to use screens of the Diagnostic Manager. Typically right after commissioning a snapshot is taken with the Diagnostic Manager. User-definable warning and pre-defined alarm levels are compared against the original snapshot; the ADM alerts operators to decreasing communications quality before critical levels are reached. The long-term trending detects creeping or sudden changes of the network. All features contribute to faster start-up or longer uptime.
