The Alert Monitor provides alert notification and status information so you can prevent process upsets.
AMS Device Manager Core Capabilities
Advanced Diagnostics
Quickly check the health of any connected wired or wireless device by viewing its status using the diagnostics and monitoring capabilities in AMS Device Manager. With broad asset coverage, AMS Device Manager provides predictive diagnostics to deliver a more comprehensive account of the health of your field devices.
In addition, a powerful, proactive method of diagnosing potential device problems is provided by the Alert Monitor. AMS Device Manager includes DDs with optimized alerts to minimize repetitive nuisance device alerts that risk flooding Alert Monitor. Users may choose to apply these default alert settings or modify them based on their needs. The Alert Monitor summary screen provides an overview of all device alerts, regardless of protocol, and gives you the ability to access additional device information for more details.
Alert latching allows you to identify new alerts and keep track of existing ones. Alerts can also be easily filtered so you can quickly see the information you need.
AMS Device Manager enables you to perform device selftests and loop tests, and automatically documents the results. When your intelligent devices are online with AMS Device Manager, you will know of problems occurring as they happen, not when they have already affected your process and the quality of your product.

Extend your asset management program with mobile-friendly device health dashboards.
Data Server
AMS Device Managers Data Server enables an organization's ability to capitalize on existing software and technology footprint, more confidently pursue higher return on investment and democratize data. AMS Device Managers Data Server employs continuous, automated collection of data pertaining to your plant's critical field devices for enhanced predictive diagnostics. By leveraging it, users can replicate their AMS Device Manager data outside the process control network ­ securely extending this data into both Emerson and third-party destinations like plant historians, control systems, data lakes, visualization and dashboard applications, advanced analytics.
Simplify maintenance of control valves connected to Fisher DVCs by providing a dashboard to easily view the status of valves around a facility and recommended time frame to take corrective action on emerging issues.
AMS Device Manager Data Server provides necessary valve data to enable the Plantweb Insight Valve Health app. This simplifies and expedites evaluation of the overall status of the valve fleet, allowing non-specialists in control valves to understand fleet health and prioritize repairs based on easy-to-understand, actionable information.
Device Health Overview
Imagine knowing everyday at a glance how your instrument maintenance program is doing. Are there hidden problems in your instruments that could cause a shutdown? Are you relying on instruments that are overdue for calibration? Are your commissioning, shutdown, outage, and turnaround projects on track for completion?

AMS Device View extends your AMS Device Manager system by delivering device health, calibration status, and project information through a browser-based interface. With AMS Device View, you can quickly see which devices need maintenance and can view recommended actions ­ from any place that there is a browser connection. Through intuitive dashboards and focused alerts, technicians can quickly access the data needed to respond quickly. And when additional work is needed, AMS Device View can launch the full AMS Device Manager system.
Even for a complex device, asset information is organized and easily accessed.

Streamline Configuration
AMS Device Manager makes configuration of devices simple, easy, and user-friendly. Using configuration management you can change, store, compare, and transfer device configurations. WirelessHART® devices can be easily configured using the drag and drop provisioning capability. Simply connect the wireless device via a HART® modem and then drag and drop it onto the wireless gateway. The network ID and join key are automatically written to the device.
With FOUNDATIONTM Fieldbus devices, commissioning and replacing devices can be done quickly and easily without the need for user interaction with the software, getting you up and running sooner and more efficiently.
Configuration information is read from any device, allowing you to make multiple changes simultaneously, compare configurations of like devices, or historical configurations on the same device. Setting up a new device configuration is as easy as a couple of clicks. Simply transfer the existing database configuration into the new device and you are up and running. Digital valve controllers, flow devices, multivariable transmitters, and wireless devices are configured quickly and easily with AMS Device Manager.
Device configuration can also be done via DTM through the DTM Launcher Application. If your devices require the use of DTMs for advanced configuration or diagnostics, AMS Device Manager can handle both DDs and DTMs.

View process variables, monitor device status, and detect alert events within any device connected to your host system.

Faster Commissioning with Configuration Templates
Before commissioning field devices, you can create templates to make the process more efficient. Define parameters for multiple devices and set configurations to follow a pre-defined standard. Templates can also be used to assign plant location, alert monitor group, HART tag, descriptor, message, ranges, and units. By using templates to configure devices in bulk, commissioning can be completed in a fraction of the time that is required with traditional methods. Typical savings range from 80-90% less time required -- with fewer configuration errors.

Simplify Documentation
AMS Device Manager saves time and money by automating documentation around device tasks. For instance, when you make a configuration change to a device, the Audit Trail will capture when the change was made and who made it. In addition, manual entries can be created to document events not automatically captured, such as a lightning strike at the plant.
Each device is also provided with a Drawings and Notes field, used to create dynamic links to your custom documents and websites. User manuals, installation guides, P&IDs, and technical contact information can be kept right at your fingertips where you need it, not in a filing cabinet in another location.
Additional documentation capabilities include the ability to create reports, perform database searches, and export data into a different format.
Efficient Calibration Management
AMS Device Manager supports the definition of device test schemes, device calibration scheduling, and the management of device calibration data. Test schemes are defined by the calibration interval, test point and accuracy requirements, and set-up and clean-up instructions. Design calibration test schemes for individual devices or groups of instruments. Then, drag and drop the transmitter icons onto your test scheme to assign devices.
There are calibration solutions for every level of need ­ from getting started with calibration to advanced use that requires compliance with regulations like 21 CFR Part 11.
Maintain Accurate Data
AMS Trex uses Auto Sync technology to maintain the data integrity of your AMS Device Manager database -- without any technician intervention. Every change made in the field is automatically recorded and time-stamped.
Changes are updated in real-time if WiFi connection is enabled and a technician is in a hot spot. Or changes are cached on the Trex communicator and applied to the database when the communicator detects a WiFi signal or USB cable connection.
The Trex communicator logs and timestamps changes as they occur, delivering an accurate audit trail of device changes in AMS Device Manager.

Improve Device Security with Lock/Unlock Ability
AMS Device Manager allows you to lock devices using systembased write protection. Choose how to apply, including to all devices, critical devices, SIS devices, by location, and more. If you need to make changes to devices, they can be unlocked for a set time and then automatically locked again for added security. Set permissions by user or user group.
Online or Offline
Online
Using AMS Device Manager online enables access to the full power of your intelligent field devices. You can remotely view the process variables, monitor device status, detect alert events, and configure any device connected to your host system, including DeltaVTM.
