3.2 What is PACTware/FDT/DTM?
PACTware (Process Automation Configuration Tool) is manufacturer
and fieldbus-independent software for adjustment of all types of field
instruments. The DTMs (Device Type Manager) of the respective field
device manufacturers are integrated into this open, freely available
supporting program via the interface specification FDT 1.21. To adjust
a field device, a DTM corresponding to the instrument type is always
required (this DTM is developed and sold by the respective field
device manufacturer).
FDT (Field Device Tool) is a standardised interface description that
describes the interaction between DTM and frame application, e.g.
PACTware. FDT controls the data exchange between the different
DTMs and the supporting program.
The DTM (Device Type Manager) is the actual adjustment module
for sensors and field components. It contains all instrument-specific
data and functions of a sensor type and delivers all graphic elements
and dialogues for adjustment. A DTM is not a stand-alone, execut-
able software but requires a supporting program, like PACTware, from
which it can run.
The VEGA DTM Collection, a software package consisting of PACT-
ware with VEGA DTM as well as various standard communication
DTMs, is the adjustment software for all currently available, commu-
nication-capable VEGA sensors. Also VEGAMET 391, VEGAMET
624/625 signal conditioning instruments, VEGASCAN 693 as well as
all instruments of PLICSRADIO and PLICSMOBILE series can be
operated completely via the corresponding DTM. For VEGALOG 571
processing systems with DTM CPU (CPU card from version 2.0) there
is also complete DTM support.
Parameter adjustment of the VEGAMET series 500 and 614 signal
conditioning instruments as well as VEGALOG 571 with CPU version
< 2.0 is not supported. For paramerter adjustment of these instru-
ments, the parameter adjustment software VVO is required. Access
to the digital sensors (Profibus PA, VBUS) connected to VEGALOG
