laptop. This allows the remote operation and execution of
service functions of field devices with the aid of an
Endress+Hauser operating program, such as the FieldCare
software platform for plant-specific asset management for
example.
• The Commubox is a USB low-power device that is powered
by means of the USB interface of the computer.
Your benefits

computer with a USB interface
• Power is supplied to Commubox by means of the USB
interface
• Possible to supply power to the field devices by means of the
CDI interface
• Connection to intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically safe
field devices
• Suitable for Endress+Hauser operating programs such as
