7.2.1 Functions in AMS Device Manager
Note
While the device is in PROGRAM mode the output remains fixed and does not respond to
changes in the device.
7.2.1.1 AMS function overview
AMS Device Manager monitors the process values, alarms and status signals of the device. It
allows you to display, compare, adjust, verify, and simulate process device data.
Parameters organized into three main function groups allow you to configure and monitor the
device:
Configure/Setup
Device Diagnostics (read only)
Process Variables (read only)
See AMS Menu Structure (Page 100) for a chart and Changing parameter settings using AMS
Device Manager (Page 89) for more details. The menu structure for AMS Device Manager is
almost identical to that for the LCD.
7.2.1.2 Features of AMS Device Manager
The graphic interface in the radar device makes monitoring and adjustments easy.

7.2.1.3 Electronic Device Description (EDD)
The EDDs are linked to the type, version of configuration software, and protocol being used.
Select the LR250 AMS EDD for the version of AMS installed. EDDs can be downloaded from
our website, see Product page (http://www.siemens.com/LR250).
The HART EDD for LR250 is labeled as supporting AMS Device Manager version 9.5. This
EDD is also operational with AMS version 9.0 and 10.1. There is also an application guide that
details how to use the Hart Communication Foundation EDDs in AMS version 11.5 and above.
There is no EDD for the LR250 for AMS version 10.5 to 11.1.
Please check the product page for updated EDDs and application guide.
