EMWESON AMS Trex™ Device Communicator

EMERSON AMS Trex™ Device Communicator

DESCRIPTION

The AMS Trex Device Communicator expands the long line of Emerson handheld devices while adding new capabilities that adapt it to consumer expectations for mobile device functionality.

Technicians armed with a Trex communicator won’t waste time bringing devices back to the shop for analysis or reconfiguration. AMS Trex is delivered with a complete, pre-installed DD library for over 2,000 HART and FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices so users can easily diagnose device problems in the field. Simple issues can be addressed on the spot, avoiding unnecessary, and potentially destructive, invasive physical investigation of the problem.

Technicians need powerful and portable diagnostic tools so they can identify and troubleshoot device issues to minimize process upsets. With a Trex communicator in hand, you can properly diagnose device issues in the field. With the right handheld, maintenance teams will experience significant savings in work hours and peace of mind knowing that problems will be fixed quickly and properly the first time.

Rugged and Reliable

For a communicator to be useful in the field, it must be built to last and ready for anything. The Trex communicator is designed to withstand the harsh conditions in and around manufacturing facilities. The rugged device is easy to hold, yet designed to take the bumps and drops that come from normal use in the plant. In addition, the Trex communicator is protected against moisture and extreme temperatures, allowing you to work regardless of environmental conditions. The sturdy exterior is designed in accordance with Intrinsic Safety standards to limit the buildup of static electrical energy. Unlike consumer-grade mobile devices, the Trex communicator will withstand the abuse of a harsh field environment.

Designed based on user feedback and with field use in mind, the carrying case features an access window that allows you to use the communicator and contains pockets large enough to carry the charger, extra lead sets, or other tools you may need in the field.
