The LinkBus Remote Instrument Monitoring System (LinkBus RIMS) from AMETEK addresses the limitations of traditional maintenance programs and frees up resources, making them available to give attention where it is most needed. Maintenance and performance personnel now have easy access to all the analyzers’ vital signs from their desk computer or through the DCS, not just the measured parameter that is typically delivered to the process control room. Any analyzer can be interrogated from the PC or through the DCS operating under HART™, Fieldbus FOUNDATION™, Modbus™ protocols, and information may be gathered without having to go to the location. This data provides predictive maintenance intelligence and assists the maintenance personnel in effective repair planning. There is no need to climb up to the analyzer, declassify the area, issue work permits, or even visit the shelter to obtain this critical performance data.
