Device Integration

Preferred Integration

To supply robust system solutions, Rockwell Automation pre-tests many third-party manufactured HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, and Profibus field devices in our system test laboratory for compatibility with our Integrated Architecture based plant automation system. Each field device is connected to our Integrated Architecture based system and is subjected to interoperability testing procedures similar to operating procedures in your plant. The results of each field test are recorded in a test report for integration planning purposes.

For Endress+Hauser field devices, an additional step provides an "Integration Document" and "Interoperability Statement" for each tested instrument. As strategic alliance partners, Rockwell Automation and Endress+Hauser are collaborating to provide you a wide range of pre-integrated, pre-tested, measurement, automation and information solutions to help you reduce integration costs and risks, improve operational efficiency, improve maintenance efficiency, and optimize plant assets.

The Integration Document provides information on installation, configuration, startup, and operation of the integrated system. The Interoperability Statement is assurance that the Endress+Hauser field device meets Integrated Architecture system interoperability performance measures, as jointly established by Rockwell Automation and Endress+Hauser and verified through completion of common test procedures performed by either company. Both the Integration Document and Interoperability Statement ensure a no risk solution highlighted by ease of integration and optimum performance.
