Is the three-year Easy Upgrade option for your 375 Field Communicator expiring soon? Even if your answer is “no,” now is the perfect time for you to renew. Emerson is offering a FREE Graphics License to customers who renew their Easy Upgrade before October 1, 2007! The popular 375 Field Communicator Easy Upgrade option provides tremendous value, allowing you to keep your 375 Field Communicator up-to-date with the latest HART® and FOUNDATION™ fieldbus device descriptions from the convenience of your office. Easy Upgrade means never having to send your communicator to a service center for updates. The Version 2.0 software for the 375 Field Communicator adds great new capabilities to both existing and new 375s. These new capabilities include: Improved Performance - By utilizing this new version of the Windows CE operating system, a 25% decrease in boot up time is achieved. The time necessary to connect to, and start communicating with, a HART device is also decreased by 35%.
Optimized Power Management - New optimized power management software in the 375 greatly improves battery life in both new and existing 375 units. Because of the importance of this feature to both new and existing customers, the power management and boot time updates will be available to all customers even if they do not currently have the Easy Upgrade option.
Enhanced Graphics Capability - With the release of Version 2.0, the 375 now utilizes enhanced EDDL technology to provide exciting new graphical capabilities. Users are able to display device information using graphical capabilities such as trends, bar charts, gauges, and images. Many of the Rosemount and Fisher hero products now support this capability. The number of supported devices (both Emerson and non-Emerson) is expected to grow. This graphics capability provides significant benefits to users.
FOUNDATION™ fieldbus Improvements - Several significant improvements have been made to the 375’s fieldbus application. In the fieldbus diagnostics, the ability to display the fieldbus signal level for all devices on a segment is provided. A handy MODE button has been added to many of the fieldbus displays to simplify mode changes when changing a block’s parameter. The ability to instantiate FOUNDATION™ fieldbus Function Blocks has also been added in this release.
This special offer is available for online Easy Upgrade renewals only. And remember, an Easy Upgrade renewal extends your coverage 3 years past the date of expiration. Anyone can take advantage of this offer, regardless of when your Easy Upgrade expires. For more information on Easy Upgrade or new Version 2.0 capabilities, visit www.fieldcommunicator.com
