Introduction
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.
Once changes are made in the field, AMS Trex will automatically synchronize the information with the AMS Device Manager
database via Wi-Fi or USB connection.
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.
Adjustable Display
The Trex communicator features a 5.7” resistive touchscreen
display for easy use with bulky work gloves. The adjustable
backlit screen can be easily changed to save power or adapt
to dark environments or bright sunlight, ensuring a crisp display
that can always be read – no matter the external conditions.
An App for That
The Trex communicator includes Upgrade Studio, a PC
application to help keep the Trex unit up-to-date with
new software and apps.
With Upgrade Studio, add critical diagnostic tools to
your toolkit and push them out to any number of Trex
communicators. With multiple apps available and many
more in development, Upgrade Studio will make the
Trex communicator your go-anywhere, do-anything device:
Field Communicator – The Field Communicator app delivers
a wide range of options for configuring and troubleshooting
HART and FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices.
Loop Diagnostics – With the Loop Diagnostic app, you
can power the loop in the field and also perform loop
troubleshooting and checkouts. The app helps with loop
characteristic validation and lets you isolate and troubleshoot
wiring issues.
Fieldbus Diagnostics – The Fieldbus Diagnostics app gives
you the necessary toolset for troubleshooting and validating
Foundation Fieldbus segments.
WirelessHART Provisioning – The WirelessHART Provisioning
app allows you to provision wireless networks in less time,
with less chance of error and in a more secure fashion.
The app can configure hundreds of devices with a push
of a button, improving accuracy and allowing you to provision
an entire network up to 6x faster.
Radar Master – The Radar Master app enables you to ensure
the measurement and configuration accuracy of your
Rosemount radar level transmitters by bringing the power
of Radar Master software to the field. Use dynamic graphics
to verify configurations while protecting the safety of your
personnel and assets.
ValveLink Mobile – With Valvelink Mobile, you can analyze
and review valve assembly condition and performance without
affecting the process. Configuration and troubleshooting
of digital valve controllers has never been more efficient.
Calculator – The Calculator app for AMS Trex includes a
simple calculator, conversion calculator for base conversions,
loop convertor/Ohm’s law calculator, and unit converter for
engineering units.
Trex Help – The Trex Help app offers a searchable help guide,
putting key information on operation and troubleshooting
at your fingertips.
PDF Viewer – Transfer PDF files to AMS Trex to easily access
manuals, work processes, notes, and any other PDFs in the field.
Designed for Use
Designed for comfortable, one-handed, all-day operation
in the field, the Trex communicator is packaged in an evenly
balanced form factor with a rugged hand strap so you can easily
hold it, even when working in tight spaces. It comes standard
with 32 GB of application memory, providing plenty of space
to customize it with the apps of your choice. With built-in
USB and Wi-Fi connectivity, you can move data to and from
the communicator using the connectivity option that is most
convenient. With numerous communication options,
your communicator has never been more connected.
The communicator’s robust lithium-ion power module will keep
it running for hours, well over a full shift, even when it is being
used to power other devices in the field.
