AMS Device Manager enables digital transformation by providing an application that embraces open standards and protocols that allow connectivity to a wide range of devices. It also enables predictive maintenance to reduce unplanned shutdowns, increase productivity, improve safety, and drive higher ROI.
This unique and flexible application provides real-time online access to intelligent instrument and valve diagnostics and alerts, delivering a view of device health and troubleshooting information when an issue is found. Based on real-time condition data, maintenance and operations personnel can respond quickly and make informed decisions.
AMS Device Manager Changes How Plants Manage Intelligent Field Devices.
AMS Device Manager revolutionizes the way plants communicate with their devices by adding an emerging technology— Field Device Integration (FDI). FDI combines the benefits of EDDL and FDT/DTM technology providing a standard method for device integration. The AMS Device Manager implementation of FDI reduces complexity and simplifies device management providing cost savings and ease of use for end users and device manufacturers.
About Field Device Integration (FDI) in AMS Device Manager
Add up to 30,000 devices into a single database for all your smart devices connected to different host systems, including offline devices configured using a field communicator like AMS Trex. Extend asset management capabilities by delivering device health and calibration status via browser-based interface enabling access from any station on the secure network.
AMS Device Manager integrates with enterprise level applications such as AMS Optics to provide visibility of instrument health. It is a reliable source that provides data from devices connected to various DCSs, PLCs or Safety Systems via open industrial protocols, enabling data analytics for process improvements.
Using historical baseline data and performance, you can analyze trends to determine when replacements or maintenance will be needed. AMS Device Manager provides graphs to visualize discrepancies and recommended actions on how to fix issues.
AMS Device Manager supports the definition of device test schemes, device calibration scheduling, and the management of device calibration data. Go paperless to eliminate documentation errors and automate documentation to minimize unnecessary work.

Teams are now using asset management software to collate data from valves, instruments and others via modern protocols like OPC UA and MQTT. This data is then contextualized, made available at the enterprise level for collaboration, and used to automate closed-loop maintenance tasks and workflows via CMMS. Erik Lindhjem, VP/GM of Emerson’s Reliability Solutions business explains.

SNAP-ON Applications and Advanced Options
AMS Device Manager SNAP-ON Applications and Advanced Options are recommended to gain enhanced information and diagnostic functionality for a device or group of devices. For existing AMS Device Manager users, Advanced Options and SNAP-ON Applications offer a cost-effective way to take your field device, valve, calibration, wireless network programs to the next level.
Product Data Sheet: AMS Device Manager SNAP-ON™ Applications
The AlertTrack SNAP-ON application gives you visibility to the health of your field devices and documentation of parameter changes. Group multiple devices and set parameters to be scanned or documented, or analyze trends to identify problem assets. Route alerts to your cell phone or mobile device for on-the-go notification of device health or process conditions. The AlertTrack SNAP-ON application helps you to identify the root cause of a problem so you can correct the issue before equipment is damaged.
The AMS ValveLink SNAP-ON application gives you the ability to work with HART® and Foundation™ fieldbus FIELDVUE™ digital valve controllers. It provides an easy-to-use PC environment for diagnosing the operating characteristics of DVC2000, DVC5000, DVC5000f, DVC6000, DVC6000f, DVC6200, and DVC6200f series digital valve controllers.
The AMS Wireless SNAP-ON application gives you more power to manage your wireless networks. Plan your networks and validate them against recommended design practices. After your wireless networks are installed, you can graphically view communication and status, allowing you to identify any potential trouble spots with predictive diagnostics.
The Calibration Assistant SNAP-ON application interfaces with documenting calibrators to manage the calibrations of HART, Foundation fieldbus, IEC-approved WirelessHART®, and conventional devices. It allows you to easily group your devices into test schemes and calibration routes for maximum efficiency.
The DCMlink SNAP-ON version integrates into the AMS Device Manager enabling you to diagnose, configure and monitor your actuators in the same environment as your other Emerson plant assets.
