Emerson TREX2CHPKLWP1 Offers

Technicians armed with a Trex communicator won’t waste time bringing devices back to the shop for analysis or reconfiguration. AMS Trex is delivered with a complete, pre-installed DD library for over 2,500 HART®, FOUNDATION Fieldbus™, and Bluetooth® devices so users can easily diagnose device problems in the field. Simple issues can be addressed on the spot, avoiding unnecessary, and potentially destructive, invasive physical investigation of the problem.

Once changes are made in the field, this device communicator will synchronize the information automatically with the AMS Device Manager database via Wi-Fi or USB.

Rugged and reliable

For a communicator to be useful in the field, it must be built to last and ready for anything. This Trex communicator is designed to withstand the harsh conditions in and around manufacturing facilities. This rugged device is easy to hold, yet designed to take the bumps and drops that come from normal use in the plant. In addition, this Trex communicator is protected against moisture and extreme temperatures, allowing you to work regardless of environmental conditions. The sturdy exterior is designed in accordance with Intrinsic Safety standards to limit the buildup of static electrical energy. Unlike consumer-grade mobile devices, this Trex communicator will withstand the abuse of a harsh field environment.
Designed based on user feedback and with field use in mind, the carrying case features an access window that allows you to use the communicator and contains pockets large enough to carry the charger, extra lead sets, or other tools you may need in the field.

Adjustable display

This communicator features a 5.7" (14.478 cm) resistive touchscreen display for easy use with bulky work gloves. The adjustable backlit screen can be easily changed to save power or adapt to dark environments or bright sunlight, ensuring a crisp display that can always be read - no matter the external conditions.

An app for that

The Trex communicator includes Upgrade Studio, a PC application to help keep the Trex unit up-to-date with new software and apps.
With Upgrade Studio, add critical diagnostic tools to your toolkit and push them out to any number of Trex communicators. With multiple apps available and many more in development, Upgrade Studio will make the Trex communicator your go-anywhere, do-anything device

Designed for use

Designed for comfortable, one-handed, all-day operation in the field, this Trex communicator is packaged in an evenly balanced form factor with a rugged hand strap so you can easily hold it, even when working in tight spaces. It comes standard with 32 GB of application memory, providing plenty of space to customize it with the apps of your choice. With built-in USB and Wi-Fi connectivity, you can move data to and from the communicator using the connectivity option that is most convenient. With numerous communication options, your communicator has never been more connected.
The communicator’s robust lithium-ion power module will keep it running for hours, well over a full shift, even when it is being used to power other devices in the field.

Instrinsically safe

This communicator is built to go wherever you may need to be. Unlike consumer mobile devices that cannot be taken into hazardous areas without shutting down the process or pulling a hot work permit, the unit meets global Intrinsic Safety requirements: ATEX, CSA (US/Canada), IECEx, FISCO.

Gain freedom and flexibility with a communicator that can go anywhere you need to, when you need to, without worrying if the device will put you at risk.

Power the loop

This communicator includes built-in functionality to power a device. Simply connect the communicator to an instrument to power it. Technicians no longer waste time rounding up a power supply or confirming adequate loop resistance before testing, speeding configuration on the bench.

Power the loop functionality allows device configuration in the field on new projects - even before power and I/O infrastructure are in place. Transmitter configuration no longer needs to be the last step of new projects. Configure transmitters before the host system, wiring, piping, and other project elements arrive, keeping transmitter configuration from being a critical path item, allowing more flexibility in new project scheduling and leading to faster startups.

Powering devices from the communicator allows you to isolate the device from the rest of the system, helping you identify installation problems like power supply, wiring, I/O card, and configuration issues.

Auto sync

The Auto Sync technology in AMS Trex helps maintain data integrity in 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 Wi-Fi connection is enabled and a technician is in a hot spot. Or changes are cached on this Trex communicator and applied to the database when the communicator detects a Wi-Fi signal or USB cable connection.

This communicator logs and timestamps changes as they occur, delivering an accurate audit trail of device changes to the AMS Device Manager database.

Identify valve problems

Valve problems are particularly costly to diagnose and repair. Field technicians are often required to pull a valve to investigate a problem, and removing valves for inspection usually means shutting down the process. Further complicating troubleshooting, technicians often need to disassemble the valve to determine the root cause of the problem. This frequently leads to further damage to the valve, ending in a more time consuming and expensive repair.

Using the ValveLink Mobile app on this Trex unit, you can perform valve diagnostics in the field, including valve signature, dynamic error band, PD one button sweep, and step response, without having to pull the valve or perform invasive troubleshooting steps. ValveLink Mobile works with HART and FOUNDATION Fieldbus Fisher® FIELDVUE™ digital valve controllers and provides an intuitive user interface that is easy to understand and use. With this AMS Trex Device Communicator Plus communication module, you can even power this digital valve controller directly from ValveLink Mobile. The large touchscreen on this Trex communicator makes it easier than ever to see all valve diagnostic details.

Diagnose communication problems

This communicator can configure and troubleshoot FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices and segments in your plant. Use the communicator to create a quality segment by diagnosing the network DC voltage and average noise. Detect power supply problems using the communicator's power the loop functionality or by monitoring low frequency noise on a segment. You can also verify whether the DC voltage is correct in HART loops.
