Quickly verify and document device configuration and calibration, verify the integrity of wiring and confirm the operational capability of every control loop—all from one central location. Verify and tune valve operation by performing loop checks and read back position via the network. Generate and archive system configuration data faster.

Access multivariable instruments. Dramatically reduce costs using Analog+HART I/O by increasing information flow four to eight-fold. For example, a mass flow meter can measure mass flow, temperature, density and volume flow. An Analog+HART I/O channel can read back all this information. Analog+HART I/O can also read actual valve position, number of cycles and status without the need for additional wiring. Standard I/O does not allow access to this information

An integrated network allows more efficient scheduling which can significantly reduce downtime. System backup is performed electronically, allowing for fast recovery in the event of a failure. Historical reference data can be used to identify trends and determine instrument reliability.
