FDM integration
Field Device Manager (FDM) is a complete instrument asset
management system that can range from a single self-contained
server/client node to a very distributed architecture. FDM is used for
configuration, commissioning, and maintenance of smart field
devices based on HART, and ISA100 Wireless.
This section only introduces how to configure and monitor field
devices connected to ControlEdge PLC and ControlEdge RTU
through FDM.
For more information about FDM, see the FDM User's Guide.
