9.10 Field Device Tool / Device Type Manager (FDT / DTM)
A Field Device Tool Container (FDT Container) is basically a PC program used to configure
HART
® , PROFIBUS and Foundation Fieldbus devices. To adapt to different devices, an FDT
container uses a so-called Device Type Manager (DTM).
9.10.1 Installation
If the Device Type Manager for the signal converter has not yet been installed on the Field Device
Tool Container, setup is required and 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 local device display.
