Can Asset Manager monitor and diagnose Emerson smart valve positioners?
Yes. For the Fisher DVC Hart and FF Positioner, Asset Manager can monitor the status of devices directly from the positioner. For HART, a device status that enters Experion PKS via Command 48 can be collected as symptoms for Asset Manager. For FF positioners, any parameter that is visible via the Device Descriptor can also be monitored via the Data Scout to be used as symptoms. For advanced diagnoses of these positioners and tasks, such as collecting valve signatures, step responses, etc., the end user must continue using the Fisher ValveLink software as a standalone application.
