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.

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 or in the internet at: www.de.endress.com/Download (text search = "Fieldnetcalc").
