A handheld communicator, also known as a handheld communicator or handheld device, is a portable electronic device used for communication and configuration of field devices in industrial settings. It provides a convenient and user-friendly interface for technicians and engineers to interact with and configure process instruments and control systems in the field.

​

Handheld communicators are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, manufacturing, and utilities. They allow for efficient and convenient communication with devices such as smart transmitters, flow meters, level sensors, and control valves, among others.

​

These devices typically feature a ruggedized design to withstand harsh industrial environments and may have a display screen, keypad, navigation buttons, and communication ports. They enable technicians to perform a variety of tasks, including device configuration, calibration, troubleshooting, and diagnostics. Handheld communicators often support industry-standard communication protocols such as HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, and Profibus, allowing compatibility with a wide range of field devices.

​

With a handheld communicator, technicians can access device parameters, change settings, monitor process variables, and capture diagnostic information directly at the field device location. This eliminates the need for manual adjustments or connection to a centralized control system, enabling efficient on-site maintenance and configuration.
