About device configuration tablets
The Field Xperts are universal, high-performance device configuration tablet PCs for hazardous (Ex Zone 1 and 2) and non-hazardous areas. They provide easy access to Endress+Hauser and third-party field devices. Designed for use with all digitally communicating field devices, these tablets help to set up, troubleshoot and analyze devices. Connect them to our digital services Netilion Analytics and Netilion Library to start digitalizing your plant.
Operating principle: Device connection
The Field Xpert can access field devices in various ways. Make a point-to-point connection directly on the device or from the control cabinet using a suitable USB or Bluetooth interface. In addition, it is possible to access a specific gateway to establish a point to-bus connection and thus access several devices via one entry point. To access devices wirelessly, a Wi-Fi access point is required in the system or it is also possible to access individual devices via a wireless hotspot.
