AMS leverages the I/O capabilities of the control system to gather asset management data
without interfering with the control system's operations. Insert the analyzer onto DeltaV
™
.
Note
The following procedures assume that the DeltaV and the analyzer are installed and powered.
Perform the following steps to install a new device onto a DeltaV system:
1. From the Start menu, select DeltaV > Engineering > DeltaV Explorer.
2. Select/expand Library (right below DeltaV system).
3. Right-click Fieldbus Devices. This brings up a list of options.
4. From the list, select Add Device Definition. This opens a Browse for folder dialog
box. Browse to the directory that contains the seven files needed to register a new
device with DeltaV. These files consist of 3 *.dll files, *.sym, *.ffo, *fhx, and *.reg
files. The files are probably on a floppy disk or a CD-ROM that accompanies your
device. On CD-ROMs delivered together with Emerson analyzers the files are located
in the directory /Fieldbus. Dependent on the existing system, use the files of the
appropriate subdirectory.
5. Answer Yes to the first prompt. DeltaV starts the installation.
Figure 7-33 shows the Exploring DeltaV screen for reference.
