Advanced diagnostic module (ADM)
Manage the physical layer with the advanced physical layer diagnostics (ADM) by Pepperl+Fuchs
The advanced diagnostic module (ADM) by Pepperl+Fuchs offers enhanced FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 physical layer diagnostics. The ADM automates commissioning and documentation, monitors the fieldbus segment online, and identifies faults in realtime.
With ADM by Pepperl+Fuchs, an embedded expert system learns and interprets the electric values and behaviour of each segment. Plant maintenance receives early, easy-to-understand warnings. This offers a wealth of benefits and is supported by simple user display:
- Accelerated segment commissioning: due to FieldConnex advanced diagnostics, Foxboro/Triconex allows remote segment testing and documentation - eliminating numerous time-consuming and repetitive tasks.
- Improved plant availability: the fieldbus physical layer is monitored continuously. Critical conditions are detected at an early stage. This allows corrective measures before there is any impact on plant operation.
- Expert system for fast troubleshooting: In case of an alarm condition, incident-related information describes the nature of the problem and suggests remedies. This accelerates troubleshooting by service technicians.
Pepperl+Fuchs' FieldConnex diagnostic gateway is the interface between stationary advanced diagnostic modules (ADM) and the control system. It offers access to all ADM data in two ways: via Ethernet and the diagnostic manager software or via FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 and DTM/EDD or both. Commissioning functions of gateways and modules are widely automated, significantly simplifying typical engineering procedures.
This diagnostic gateway offers the same features as the KT-MB-GT2AD.FF with the addition of inputs for frequency, temperature, humidity, NAMUR sensors, and 2 relay contacts. Thus, the cabinet and physical layer diagnostics become easy-to-manage plant assets.
The fieldbus diagnostic handheld (FDH-1) is the only portable solution with embedded expert system. For novice and experienced Schneider Electric fieldbus users alike, the FDH-1 offers functions to check and monitor the quality of the fieldbus physical layer. It allows you to check the installation with the push of a button and gives you precise advice through clear-text messages.
