Pepperl+Fuchs Advanced Diagnostics Module is Breakthrough Product of 2006 According to Processing Magazine
TWINSBURG, OH - Pepperl+Fuchs' innovative Advanced Diagnostic Module (ADM) for FieldConnex® Power Hub has been named the Breakthrough Product of 2006 by Processing magazine. The award recognizes products, services and/or technology that have made significant contributions in the process industries within the last year, and are expected to greatly impact the industry for years to come.
"We are delighted and honored to be recognized by Processing magazine for our Advanced Diagnostic Module, with what has become one of the most distinguished and well-respected awards in the industry," says David Hohenstein, Department Manager, Pepperl+Fuchs. "The ADM removes the complexity from FOUNDATION Fieldbus and Profibus installation and is unique in its ability to bring control to the fieldbus by monitoring the fieldbus physical layer, while creating transparency and easy evaluation of the network."
The extremely detailed information provided by the ADM is displayed in a simple-to-use Device Type Manager (DTM) in the control room. Engineering contractors, commissioning experts, plant operators and maintenance specialists gain visibility into the fieldbus physical layer for faster commissioning work, longer plant-uptime, true preventative maintenance and efficient troubleshooting.
The ADM eliminates repetitive tasks and automatically generates network documentation for each segment and device. The unique built-in oscilloscope can be set to trigger on numerous events. The ADM enables maintenance personnel to pinpoint fault locations quickly and efficiently from the control room. Comprehensive Physical layer measurements and alarms are transmitted in real-time to the maintenance station and are easily handled through modern FDT/DTM technology and can be easily viewed by an OPC Client Software.
