What Is the AMS Trex 2 Used For?
The AMS Trex 2 is a handheld HART communicator and field device diagnostic tool used by instrumentation technicians to communicate with smart field instruments. It can support tasks ranging from initial device commissioning to routine maintenance and troubleshooting.
Common applications include:
- HART device configuration
- Instrument commissioning
- Loop checks and verification
- Calibration verification
- Field device diagnostics
- Preventive and corrective maintenance
- Troubleshooting smart transmitters and instruments
- Turnaround and shutdown support
This makes the Trex 2 particularly useful for I&E technicians who need one portable platform for working with instrumentation throughout a facility.
AMS Trex 2 vs AMS Trex
The AMS Trex 2 is the next generation of the AMS Trex Device Communicator. It retains the field-device communication capabilities technicians expect from the Trex platform while introducing updated hardware designed for modern instrumentation workflows.
Key Trex 2 improvements include a newer high-performance processing platform, enhanced measurement performance, and embedded Bluetooth® connectivity.
For facilities already using Trex communicators, the Trex 2 provides an updated platform for supporting current and evolving field-device maintenance requirements.
Buy or Rent an AMS Trex 2 from JM Test Systems
Whether it makes more sense to buy or rent an AMS Trex 2 depends on how frequently your technicians need the communicator.
Purchasing may be the better fit for facilities that regularly perform HART device configuration, commissioning, calibration, and maintenance. Renting can provide a cost-effective option when additional HART communicators are needed temporarily for turnarounds, shutdowns, commissioning projects, outages, or short-term increases in instrumentation work.
JM Test Systems works with industrial facilities, contractors, maintenance teams, and instrumentation professionals to help match equipment configurations to specific applications.
