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
