AMS Trex Device Communicator overview

The Trex unit supports HART® and FOUNDATION™ fieldbus devices, so you can configure or troubleshoot in the field or on the work bench. Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) technology enables the Trex unit to communicate with a variety of devices independent of device manufacturer.

Depending on the attached communication module, the Trex unit lets you:

  • Configure HART and FOUNDATION fieldbus devices.
  • Power one HART or FOUNDATION fieldbus device.
  • Measure current and voltage.
  • Perform diagnostics on a 4-20 mA current loop or FOUNDATION fieldbus segment.

The Trex unit includes a color LCD touchscreen, a Lithium-Ion power module (battery pack), a processor, memory components, and optional communication modules.

CAUTION:
When the Trex unit communicates with devices, follow all standards and procedures applicable to the location. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage and/or personal injury. Understand and comply with the sections in this manual.
