PC APPLICATIONS
Connect your 475 Field Communicator to a supported PC application, such as AMS
®
Suite: Intelligent Device Manager or the Easy Upgrade Utility, to download new system
software, device descriptions, and licenses. You can also transfer HART configuration
files, Event Capture files, and ScratchPad(.txt) files to a PC.
AMS Device Manager
The 475 Field Communicator can connect to AMS Device Manager (version 6.2 or
higher), letting you create, open, edit, or compare HART device or user configuration
files. You may need to connect using IrDA if Bluetooth is not supported in your version.
You can also download configurations from AMS Device Manager to a storage location
in the 475 Field Communicator. Check the AMS Device Manager Books Online for
more information.
Field Communicator Easy
Upgrade Utility
The 475 Field Communicator can connect to the Easy Upgrade Utility that is available
on the Resource CD. See the readme file for installation and system requirements.
You can access this file from www.fieldcommunicator.com or the Resource CD.
The Easy Upgrade Utility lets you do the following:
• Download new system software and device descriptions to upgrade your 475 Field
Communicator at your site.
• Enable new functionality and applications by purchasing and downloading new
application licenses using the Online Licensing feature.
• Upload Event Capture and ScratchPad files to your PC.
• Upload, download, and print HART device or user configurations (.hcf files).
Uploading configurations to the Easy Upgrade Utility lets you back up these files.
• Manage the memory in your System Card by specifying which device descriptions
can be downloaded to your System Card. Limiting the number of device
descriptions will free memory on your System Card.
• Assign a Unit Name to a 475 Field Communicator to uniquely identify it, which is
useful when connecting to a 475 using Bluetooth.
See the Easy Upgrade Utility Help for more information on these features.
