What is FDT/DTM?
• FDT / DTM
• FDT = Field Device Tool (frame application)
• Follows a published standard specification
• DTM = Device Type Manager (device driver)
• Compatible with an FDT frame application
• Open standardised technology
independent of device or system supplier
• Independent of device type
sensor, actuator, remote I/O, drives, etc.
• Full support of installed base
• Independent of communication protocol
Ethernet, HART, PROFIBUS, Foundation
Fieldbus, etc.
• Vertical integration by nested communication
