High-Performance Computing

Emerson uses the latest Intel processors based on their

unmatched performance. The RXi2-XP IPC has up to 32GB of

ECC RAM, 5 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, and industrial grade

high-speed HDD storage (or optional SSD disk storage) to

complete the high-performance design.

These features make the RXi2-XP IPC the perfect platform for

running industrial applications right at the machine, even in

the harshest environments.

The RXi2-XP IPC provides additional application flexibility with

both mini PCI Express and low-profile PCI Express slots. This

expandability combined with advanced CPUs delivers high

performance, computing.

To help keep data and operations secure, the RXi2-XP utilizes

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and Microsoft Secure Boot technology.

Greater Uptime

All aspects of the RXi2-XP IPC have been engineered

for reliability in harsh environments, from the use of all

industrial grade components to its fanless design. The core

of the RXi2-XP IPC architecture is Emerson’s rugged COM

Express modular  CPU platform. Emerson incorporates

patented thermal monitoring technology with sophisticated

passive cooling techniques to provide the highest

performance, fanless industrial computing platform that can

operate in extended temperature ranges.

The Next Generation Of Ruggedized Computing

Introduction

Emerson has developed the next generation of its powerful,

expandable, and reliable industrial computers (IPC). RXi2 IPCs

offer new processor choices, increased and faster storage,

improved graphics, and enhanced security features.

The RXi2-XP IPC delivers compact, rugged, mid-to high

range performance computing capabilities to run HMI,

historian, and analytics applications right at the machine to

enable improved real-time control of operations and better

integration into plant-wide systems.

Combining outstanding computing capabilities with the

added expandability of 0. 1. 2 or 4 PCI Express slots and

CFast storage, the RXi2-XP is ideal for a range of demanding

industrial applications.

The RXi2-XP IPC combines high performance with reliability,

enhancing productivity and reducing cost of ownership.

The RXi2-XP IPC delivers low TCO through features such as

compact size, reduced maintenance, low power consumption,

and ease of future performance upgrades enabled by our

innovative rugged COM Express CPU architecture.

The FloBoss S600 Flow Manager is a panel-mount

flow computer designed specifically for

hydrocarbon liquid and gas measurement where

versatility and accuracy matter. The standard

features of the unit make it ideal for fiscal

measurement, custody transfer, batch loading, and

meter proving applications. The unit allows

configuration of multi-stream, multi-station

applications, enabling you to simultaneously meter

liquids and gasses.

The FloBoss S600 Flow Manager is designed for

use either as a stand alone Flow Computer or as a

system component. The base unit is supplied with

a single Input/Output (I/O) board and can be used

for both gas and liquid applications. The I/O

capability of the single I/O board is detailed on

Page 5. but is generally suitable for 2 of 3 streams

and a header. Additional I/O boards can be added

(maximum of 3) to enable a single FloBoss S600

to handle up to 10 streams and up to 2 headers,

with both Gas & Liquid in a single machine. Orifice,

ultrasonic, turbine, positive displacement, Coriolis,

Annubar, Venturi, and V-Cone flow meter types

are all supported.

The Floboss S600 uses distributed processing to

achieve maximum performance. The main CPU

incorporates a hardware floating point processor.

Each additional card also has local processing to

convert inputs and output from engineering units to

field values and vice-versa, as well as running

background tests and PID loops.

AMS Trex Support

With an active AMS Trex Support contract, your AMS Trex

Device Communicator has comprehensive coverage

and can be used to its maximum potential. With a range

of support offerings including benefits such as Technical

Support, software updates, automated DD updates,

and Accidental Damage Coverage, it’s easy to protect

your investment in AMS Trex. Users can also leverage the

AMS Trex Online Portal to download software and manage

AMS Trex units across their enterprise.

ValveLink Mobile works with HART and FOUNDATION Fieldbus

Fisher® FIELDVUE™ digital valve controllers and provides an

intuitive user interface that is easy to understand and use.

With the AMS Trex Device Communicator Plus communication

module, you can even power the digital valve controller directly

from ValveLink Mobile. The large touchscreen on the Trex

communicator makes it easier than ever to see all valve diagnostic details.

Diagnose Communication Problems

The Trex communicator can configure and troubleshoot

FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices and segments in your plant.

Use the communicator to create a quality segment by

diagnosing the network DC voltage and average noise.

Detect power supply problems using the communicator’s

power the loop functionality or by monitoring low frequency

noise on a segment.

You can also verify whether the DC voltage is correct

in HART loops.

Powerful Diagnostics

Identify Valve Problems

Valve problems are particularly costly to diagnose and

repair. Field technicians are often required to pull a valve

to investigate a problem, and removing valves for inspection

usually means shutting down the process. Further complicating

troubleshooting, technicians often need to disassemble

the valve to determine the root cause of the problem.

This frequently leads to further damage to the valve,

ending in a more time consuming and expensive repair.

Using the ValveLink Mobile app on the Trex unit, you can

perform valve diagnostics in the field, including valve

signature, dynamic error band, PD one button sweep,

and step response, without having to pull the valve

or perform invasive troubleshooting steps. ValveLink Mobile

works with HART and FOUNDATION Fieldbus Fisher® FIELDVUE™

digital valve controllers and provides an intuitive user interface

that is easy to understand and use. With the AMS Trex Device

Communicator Plus communication module, you can even

power the digital valve controller directly from ValveLink

Mobile. The large touchscreen on the Trex communicator

makes it easier than ever to see all valve diagnostic details.

Auto Sync

The Auto Sync technology in AMS Trex helps maintain data

integrity in your AMS Device Manager database without any

technician intervention. Every change made in the field is

automatically recorded and time-stamped.

Changes are updated in real-time if Wi-Fi connection is enabled

and a technician is in a hot spot. Or changes are cached on

the Trex communicator and applied to the database when the

communicator detects a Wi-Fi signal or USB cable connection.

The Trex communicator logs and timestamps changes as they

occur, delivering an accurate audit trail of device changes to

the AMS Device Manager database.

Powering devices from the communicator allows you to isolate

the device from the rest of the system, helping you identify

installation problems like power supply, wiring, I/O card,

and configuration issues.

Power the Loop

The Trex communicator includes built-in functionality to power

a device. Simply connect the communicator to an instrument

to power it. Technicians no longer waste time rounding up a

power supply or confirming adequate loop resistance before

testing, speeding configuration on the bench.

Power the loop functionality allows device configuration in the

field on new projects—even before power and I/O infrastructure

are in place. Transmitter configuration no longer needs to be

the last step of new projects. Configure transmitters before the

host system, wiring, piping, and other project elements arrive,

keeping transmitter configuration from being a critical path

item, allowing more flexibility in new project scheduling and

leading to faster startups.

Powering devices from the communicator allows you to isolate

the device from the rest of the system, helping you identify

installation problems like power supply, wiring, I/O card,
