3. GETTING STARTED
3.6 Engineering Tools
Engineering of the AXF PROFIBUS PA can be
performed with the following two tools.
3.6.1 FieldMate for DTM
Yokogawa’s FieldMate is a configuration/management
tool for devices based on FDT/DTM technology. DTM
is software for the adjustment, configuration, calibra-
tion and testing of devices.
For AXF configuration, the following devices and
software are required.
• FieldMate R1.03 (FSA110 or FSA111)
• PROFIBUS card2 and COMM DTM Ver. 2.04 or
later (supplied by Softing)
• PC
• DP/PA coupler (supplied by SIEMENS or P+F)
• Terminators
• Power supply
• PROFIBUS cable
• AXF DTM
Download DTM for AXF from the following website.
http://downloads.yokogawa-europe.com/
For each device, software and PC operating environ-
ment, refer to the corresponding user’s manual.
For further information on AXF configuration using
FieldMate, see chapter 5. A list on menus is shown in

3.6.2 SIMATIC PDM for EDDL
Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL)
defines field device information, and can be used
independently of vendors. EDDL files can be read by
engineering tools, and the software is used to conduct
adjustment, configuration, calibration and tests of
devices.
Necessary devices and software
• SIMATIC PDM (supplied by SIEMENS)
• PROFIBUS communication card (supplied by
SIEMENS)
• PC
• DP/PA coupler (supplied by SIEMENS or P+F)
• Terminators
• Power supply
• PROFIBUS cable
• AXF EDDL
Download EDDL for AXF from the following website.

For further information on the operating environment,
refer to the software/device user’s manual.
For information on AXF configuration using SIMATIC
PDM, refer to the SIMATIC PDM user’s manual.
