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
® .
9.10 Field Device Tool Device Type Manager (FDT DTM)
A Field Device Tool Container or Frame Application is basically a PC program used to configure
HART
® , PROFIBUS and Foundation Fieldbus devices. Device Type Managers (DTMs) are used to
integrate different devices into a FDT container.
9.10.1 Installation
If the Device Type Manager for the signal converter has not yet been installed on the FDT
Container, a setup is required which is available for download from the website or on CD-ROM.
See the supplied documentation for information on how to install and set up the DTM.
9.10.2 Operation
Operating the signal converter via DTM is very similar to manual device control using the
keyboard. See also the local device display and the handbook.
