Operating program "FieldCare"

FieldCare is Endress+Hauser's FDT-based plant asset management tool and allows the configuration
and diagnosis of intelligent field devices. By using status information, you also have a simple but
effective tool for monitoring devices. The Proline flowmeters are accessed via a service interface or
via the service interface FXA193.

The user can obtain special configuration and operating programs offered by the different
manufacturers for use in configuration. These can be used for configuring both the FOUNDATION
Fieldbus functions and all the device-specific parameters. The predefined Function Blocks allow
uniform access to all the network and fieldbus device data.
