**What is a field communicator?**

A field communicator is a portable device used for configuring, diagnosing, and troubleshooting field devices in process industries.

It enables technicians to communicate with field devices using various protocols like HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, and Profibus. Field communicators provide a user-friendly interface for quick access to device information, configuration changes, and real-time issue diagnosis. They are essential for efficient maintenance and optimization of field devices, improving process performance and reducing operational costs.

To calibrate or adjust field devices, an accurate process calibrator is required. By integrating a field communicator with a process calibrator, both functionalities are combined into a single device. This integration simplifies technicians’ workflow, saves time, and ensures precise calibration of digital communication-enabled devices in industrial environments.

The integrated field communicator and process calibrator offer a convenient solution for device configuration, troubleshooting, and calibration. Technicians can seamlessly perform calibration and communication tasks using a single device, streamlining their work and maximizing productivity.

Integrating a field communicator and process calibrator into a single device simplifies workflow, reduces tool carrying, and ensures accurate calibrations in industrial environments. This integration optimizes efficiency, saves time, and enhances overall operational performance.

## Beamex MC6 as a field communicator

The [MC6](https://www.beamex.com/calibrators/beamex-mc6/) is a field calibrator and multi-bus field communicator, all in one easy to carry device.

It supports HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 and Profibus PA protocols. The MC6 is modular, so you can have all three protocols or just one installed, and you can add more later if needed. It also includes a built-in loop supply, compatible with all protocols, together with the required impedance – meaning you don’t need extra supplies or impedance.
