9.8.2 Operation
PDM supports the Process Variables Root Menu, Diagnostic Root Menu and Device Root Menu
for online access to the device and the Offline Root Menu for offline configuration.
The classic approach for PDM is the offline operation with the PDM parameter table and the
transfer of entire configuration data sets with the "Download to Device" and "Upload to PG/PC"
functions. The parameter "Online Mode?" in the "Detailed Setup / HART" table section of the
parameter table should be set to "no". However PDM also supports online operation from the
"Device" and the "View" sections of the menu bar which is more similar to manual device control
using the keyboard. Usually offline and online configuration data sets are separated in PDM. Still
there is some interdependency e.g. regarding evaluation of parameter and menu conditionals: If
e.g. the "Access Level" is changed in an online menu the offline configuration data set needs to
be updated with "Upload to PG/PC" before the related online menus actually become accessible.
The help attribute of each parameter contains its function number as a reference to the local
device display and the handbook.
Parameter protection for custody transfer and service is the same as on the device's local
display. Other specific protective functions such as the passwords for the quick setup menu and
the setup menu are not supported with HART
® .
9.9 Field Device Manager (FDM)
A Field Device Manager (FDM) is basically a PC program from Honeywell used to configure
HART
® , PROFIBUS and Foundation Fieldbus devices. Device Descriptions (DDs) and Device Type
Managers (DTMs) are used to integrate different devices into the FDM.
9.9.1 Installation
If the signal converter Device Description has not yet been installed on the FDM system, the
Device Description is required in binary format and is available for download from the website or
on CD ROM.
For information on installing the Device Description, refere to the FDM User Guide - section 4.8
Managing DDs.
9.9.2 Operation
FDM supports the Process Variables Root Menu, the Diagnostic Root Menu and the Device Root
Menu for online access to the device and the Offline Root Menu for offline configuration.
The help attribute of each parameter contains its function number as a reference to the local
device display and the handbook. Parameter protection for custody transfer is the same as on
the device's local display. Other specific protective functions such as the passwords for the quick
setup menu and the setup menu are not supported with HART
