- 2. FieldMate is a core building block of Yokogawa's VigilantPlant solutions that promise to bring operational excellence to visionary plants, creating an environment where plant personnel can See Clearly, Know in Advance, and Act with Agility. SEE CLEARLY KNOW IN ADVANCE ACT WITH AGILITY Faster plant start-up. Improved maintenance work flow. Reduced maintenance expenditure. Reduced production loss from unplanned downtime. Industry leaders striving for operational excellence are pursuing maximum asset utilization. Unfortunately, practical tools to face that challenge were in short supply, before FieldMate. Introducing FieldMate, the integrated tool that opens a clear and practical path to asset excellence. FieldMate enables you to see intelligent field devices clearly, know their condition in advance, and act with agility throughout maintenance work flow. The clear path to asset excellence Versatile Device Management Wizard One Tool over Device Lifecycle While doing maintenance work on your field devices, FieldMate automatically stores the maintenance work log. FieldMate supports maintenance work from initial configuration through start-up and operation, while reducing the unwanted paper trail. One Tool for All One integrated tool handles parameter setting for intelligent field devices, regardless of who supplies the devices and what particular field communication protocols are used. FieldMate enables quicker device configuration and problem solving, reducing complex and time-consuming work steps. 1 2

Now with FieldMate, it is possible to single-handedly manage field devices from multiple suppliers for many different protocols. Many clicks x multiple configuration tools = complex field maintenance work Many clicks x multiple configuration tools = complex field maintenance work Fewer clicks x one configuration tool = field maintenance work efficiency Fewer clicks x one configuration tool = field maintenance work efficiency Before After FieldField 3 Leading Edge Technologies Multi Protocol Access: FOUNDATIONTM fieldbus complete support: latest FF DDS HART advanced interoperability: SDC625 PROFIBUS plug and play: genuine FDT Application BRAIN protocol full support: multi-purpose BRAIN DTM ISA100.11a support: Connection via Infrared Plug & Play: Instant device recognition upon connection Graphical device management: Intuitive user display optimized for each field device Benefit Faster Engineering & Maintenance Work Rapid device configuration Easy loop testing and better device tuning Quicker problem solving No need to purchase multiple handheld tools Faster and more effective training on a single integrated tool Future Proof FieldMate provides a common architecture An independent platform and operating system, independent of host systems Compatible with existing EDDL and DTM-based device descriptions Applicable to any field device communication technologies FieldMate fully embraces both the FDT and EDDL technologies which insures smooth integration of future devices . <Device DTM display> One Tool for All Easy and fast device configuration 4

FieldMate supports the full maintenance work flow, providing a single database as a maintenance work portal. Multiple tools x Records in paper form = Discontinuous work log and isolated maintenance know-how One tool x Record in electronic form = Traceable maintenance database and explicit sharing of work know-how Before After Leading Edge Technologies Full work flow support: Interfacing with other field tools for inspection, patrol, calibration, etc. Easy device management: Device information stored in a single database Maintenance Knowledge Management: Explicit know-how sharing through electronic memo Information linking and cross referencing: Linkage with online documents and the Internet Easy Software Update: Easily updated for new devices with a simple Internet connection One Tool over Device Lifecycle Efficient and effective maintenance work 5 6 Configuration & Setting Replacement Loop Check, Commissioning Daily Maintenance Shutdown Maintenance Clear Path to Asset Excellence FieldMate includes a future evolution path. Collaboration with Yokogawa's online Plant Resource Manager (PRM) will lead users to the final goal of VigilantPlant Asset Excellence Synchronization of device configuration and maintenance information with PRM enables efficient plant-wide device management.
