Fisher-Rosemount To Combine AMS Software With Elcon Instruments' HIS Hardware

Fisher-Rosemount (Austin, TX) has formed a worldwide strategic alliance with Elcon Instruments to combine their Asset Management Solutions (AMS) software with Elcon Instruments' HART Interface Solutions (HIS) hardware. Fisher-Rosemount's AMS, a software application for streamlining maintenance and documentation activities related to instrumentation and valves, provides on-line communication with field devices. Elcon Instruments' HIS is a family of hardware products that provides connectivity between HART field devices and the AMS PC-based software.
