•Full-color graphical user interface
•Powerful field diagnostics
•Bluetooth® communication
•Long-lasting Lithium-Ion power module
•Universal support for HART® and FOUNDATIONTM fieldbus devices
The 475 Field Communicator builds on the industry-leading
technology of the 375 Field Communicator while adding innovative
new capabilities including color display, Bluetooth communication,
and advanced field diagnostics.What you get is the most powerful
handheld available – universal, user upgradeable, intrinsically
safe, rugged and reliable. Only the 475 Field Communicator can
deliver all this in a single handheld communicator.
The 475 Field Communicator is designed to simplify your work in the
field. The intuitive full color user interface allows you to
leverage the same practices for both HART and FOUNDATION fieldbus
devices. It includes a larger touch screen than PDAs or Pocket PCs,
supports HART versions 5, 6, and 7 (including Wireless HART™)
devices, and allows you to upgrade your 475 Field Communicator
onsite using the Internet.
See the Difference
The touch screen display uses transflective technology, making it
easy to read in both bright sunlight and normal lighting. To make
sure all conditions are covered, a multi-level backlight is
included, allowing bright, crisp display even in plant areas with
dim light. The touch screen display and large physical navigation
buttons provide for efficient use both on the bench and in the
field.
The full color graphics capability is provided as standard with
every 475 Field Communicator. It uses powerful EDDL technology to
allow you to read data from field devices in a graphical manner.
Charts, graphs, gauges, and product images are just a few of the
ways in which important device data can be displayed using the 475
Field Communicator’s color LCD display.
The weight of the 475 Field Communicator is evenly distributed for
comfortable one-handed operation in the field. It runs on Windows
CE, a robust, real-time operating system. The 475 Field
Communicator has plenty of memory to allow for future expansion. It
has 32 MB of application memory and 1 GB of memory on its System
Card.
Easy Upgrade Keeps Your Communicator Current
The 475 Field Communicator is user upgradeable via the Internet.
Avoid the time delays of sending your communicator to a service
center for upgrades. With the Easy Upgrade option, you can download
new device drivers, functionality, or licenses directly to your 475
Field Communicator. Keeping your 475 Field
Communicator updated is easy.New HART and FOUNDATION fieldbus
devices, as well as functional updates to existing devices, are
introduced continually by device vendors. Keeping up-to-date with
the required Device Descriptions (DDs) for all the devices in your
plant can be a real challenge.
Intrinsically Safe
The 475 Field Communicator meets the Intrinsic Safety requirements
of the listed regulatory agencies and standards. All of the
available Hazardous Locations approvals are provided in a single
model option (see Ordering Information). CENELEC/ATEX Factory
Mutual (FM) Canadian Standards Association (CSA) FISCO IECEx
Rugged and Reliable
It’s called “Field Communicator” or a reason. Some tasks just have
to be performed at the device in the field. The 475 Field
Communicator is designed for tough use in your plant or mill. Its
large keys and physical navigation buttons allow for one-handed
operation, even with your work gloves on. The rugged display is
designed to take the knocks and shocks from normal use in the
plant. The 475 Field Communicator’s Protective Rubber Boot provides
added protection in the field and in your toolbox. Both the rubber
boot and 475 housing are designed in accordance with Intrinsic
Safety standards to limit the build up of static electrical energy.
The 475 Field Communicator is designed, manufactured, and tested to
very demanding specifications. It is ready to go wherever you need
to go to get the job done.
