System integration via Fieldgate
Vendor Managed Inventory
By using Fieldgates to interrogate tank or silo levels remotely, suppliers of raw materials can provide their regular
customers with information about the current supplies at any time and, for example, account for them in their
own production planning. For their part, the Fieldgates monitor the configured level limits and, if required,
automatically activate the next supply. The spectrum of options here ranges from a simple purchasing requisition
via e-mail through to fully automatic order administration by coupling XML data into the planning systems on
both sides.
Remote maintenance of measuring equipment
Fieldgates not only transfer the current measured values, they also alert the responsible standby personnel, if
required, via e-mail or SMS. In the event of an alarm or also when performing routine checks, service technicians
can diagnose and configure connected HART devices remotely. All that is required for this is the corresponding
HART operating tool (e.g. FieldCare, ...) for the connected device. Fieldgate passes on the information
transparently, so that all options for the respective operating software are available remotely. Some on-site
service operations can be avoided by using remote diagnosis and remote configuration and all others can at
least be better planned and prepared.

å 9 The complete measuring system consists of devices and:
1 Fieldgate FXA520
2 Multidrop Connector FXN520
The number of instruments which can be connected in mutidrop mode can be calculated by the
"FieldNetCalc" program. A description of this program can be found in Technical Information TI 400F
(Multidrop Conncector FXN520). The program is available form your Endress+Hauser sales organisation
