Emerson Process Management has introduced OpenEnterprise Field Tools, the first Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) and HART configuration suite that enables local and remote configuration and real-time HART device monitoring in remote oil and gas applications, such as wellhead automation, flow measurement, and tank overflow protection. The software suite streamlines servicing and maintenance of multiple RTU platforms and HART transmitters across remote sites, helping improve operations and field personnel safety. The new single software toolkit enables the configuration of Emerson's Remote Terminal Units, flow computers and presets including products under the ROC, FloBoss and ControlWave brands.
Additionally, OpenEnterprise Field Tools is a fully functional HART communicator that supports configuration, troubleshooting and maintenance of all wired HART and WirelessHART transmitters. According to Emerson, Field Tools enables the seamless commissioning of HART devices by leveraging HART pass-through via Emerson RTUs and flow computers. HART pass-through enables tunnelling over complex SCADA infrastructures using native Emerson RTU communication protocols.
Remote device configuration and monitoring is made easy. Whether connected locally onsite (via serial connection) or remotely (over IP connection), all HART devices are within reach. Devices that require field personnel attention are highlighted based on HART parameters, such as battery voltage, device status and device diagnostics.
Once a HART network has been commissioned, there is no longer the need for regular maintenance site visits, because Field Tools supports live-mode monitoring of all HART devices connected to an Emerson RTU or flow computer.
Field Tools is universal software that supports HART devices released by the HART Foundation, Emerson and 3rd party manufacturers alike. Moreover, the list of Field Tools' supported devices is extensible.
