PACTware™ displays measurement information clearly and lets you configure the device from a
remote location. It is an Open Source, open configuration software for all field devices. It uses
Field Device Tool (FDT) technology. FDT is a communication standard for sending information
between the system and the field device. This standard agrees with IEC 62453. Field devices are
easily integrated. Installation is supported by a user-friendly Wizard.
Install these software programs and equipment:
• Microsoft® .NET Framework version 2.0 or later.
• PACTware.
• HART® converter (USB, RS232...).
• The Device Type Manager (DTM) for the device.
You can download the latest version of PACTware™ and the DTM from our website.
