Softing mobiLink Power commissioning interface

Softing’s mobiLink Power, the company’s multiprotocol interface for commissioning and maintenance of field devices in process automation, can now be used with Emerson’s AMS Instrument Inspector to access FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices.

mobiLink Power is designed to simplify mobile access to field devices for process industry operators and supports the three most used communication protocols: HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus (FF) and Profibus PA. It has an integrated power supply, which eliminates the need for additional components during use in workbench applications. An FDI CommServer (Field Device Integration Communication Server) is now available for the interface, making it fit for accessing FF devices with Emerson’s AMS Instrument Inspector.

The AMS Instrument Inspector provides a simple device integration solution that allows users to easily perform basic device configuration tasks. The uniform FDI standard solves the problem of integrating field devices with the multitude of networks, operating systems and control systems used in the process industries. FDI offers a futureproof solution for uniform device integration for all control systems, field devices and protocols.
