management software communicate through the NetLinx networks and
1719 backplane.
What else is required to use asset management software with a 1719 Ex I/O
HART analog I/O module?
For Field Device Tool (FDT)/Device Type Manager (DTM) based asset
management software such as E+H FieldCare, you use communication DTMs
from Rockwell Automation. These same communication DTMs also work in
FactoryTalk AssetCentre software.
What is FDT/DTM?
FDT/DTM is a technology for managing intelligent devices.
E+H FieldCare asset management software is an FDT frame application. The
frame application runs the DTM files. The DTM files are executable files that are
provided by control and device vendors. There are communication DTMs and
device DTMs.
We provide communication DTMs for components in the integrated
architecture. Companies such as Endress+Hauser and Metso provide device
DTMs for their instruments and valves. The device DTMs provide visualization
of the parameters that are needed to configure, monitor, and maintain the
devices.
See http://www.fdtgroup.org for more information on FDT/DTM technology
and to search for registered DTMs.
What communication DTMs are used with the 1719 Ex I/O HART analog
I/O modules?
Go to the Rockwell Automation Product Compatibility and Download Center
(http://www.rockwellautomation.com/rockwellautomation/support/
pcdc.page), click the Download link, and search for DTM to obtain the DTMs.
Can I get asset management software from Rockwell Automation?
FactoryTalk AssetCentre provides you with a centralized tool for securing,
managing, versioning, tracking and reporting automation related asset
information across your entire facility. It can do this automatically, with limited
additional management oversight or work from employees. FactoryTalk
AssetCentre can impact uptime, productivity, quality, employee safety or
regulatory compliance. For more information, see http://
www.rockwellautomation.com/rockwellsoftware/products/factorytalk-asset-
center.page?
What if a DTM is not available for my HART field device?
A generic DTM is available (included with FieldCare) that provides basic access
to devices.
