9.7 Field Device Tool / Device Type Manager (FDT / DTM)
A Field Device Tool Container (FDT Container) is a PC program used to configure HART®,
PROFIBUS and FOUNDATION™ fieldbus devices. To configure a device, an FDT container uses
the applicable Device Type Manager (DTM).
9.7.1 Installation
Before you operate the device, the Device Type Manager (Device DTM) must be installed in the
Field Device Tool Container. You can download this .msi file from our website. For installation
and configuration data, refer to the documentation that is supplied with the Device DTM in the
"Downloads" section of the website.
9.7.2 Operation
The DTM and the device's local display use almost the same procedures to operate the signal
converter. For more data, refer to
9.8 Process Device Manager (PDM)
The Process Device Manager (PDM) is a Siemens PC program designed to configure HART
PROFIBUS devices. Device Descriptions (DDs) are used to integrate different devices into the
PDM.
9.8.1 Installation
Install Device Description files supplied in the Device Install HART® PDM folder. This is
necessary for each type of field device that is used with SIMATIC PDM. This folder is available for
download from the website.
If you use PDM version 5.2, refer to PDM manual, section 11.1 - Install device / Integrate device
into SIMATIC PDM with Device Install.
If you use PDM version 6.0, refer to PDM manual, section 13 - Integrating devices.
For more data, refer to "readme.txt". You can find this file in the Installation Kit.
9.8.2 Operation
INFORMATION!
For more data, refer to HART
There can be differences between the names of menus in the SIMATIC PDM software tool and
menus shown on the device display screen. Refer to the online help in SIMATIC PDM to find the
function number of each menu item. This function number agrees with the function number in
the device menus.
Use the same procedure for the protection of parameters in the supervisor menu.
