Operating via FDT (Field Device Tool)
FDT is a standard used in several software packages designed to commission and maintain
field devices. Two commercially available FDTs are PACTware and Fieldcare.
To configure a field device via FDT you need the DTM (Device Type Manager) for the device.
Siemens instruments use SITRANS DTM and an instrument EDD written for SITRANS DTM.
1) First install SITRANS DTM on your system. You can download it from:
http://support.automation.siemens.com. Click on Product Support, and navigate to Product
Information/Automation Technology/Sensor systems/Process Instrumentation/Software &
Communications.
2) Install the SITRANS LR200 PROFIBUS EDD for SITRANS DTM. You can download it from
the product page of our website at: www.siemens.com/LR200. Go to Support > Software
Downloads.
Configuring a new device via FDT
The full process to configure a field device via FDT is outlined in an application guide which
can be downloaded from the product page of our website at : www.siemens.com/LR200 under
Support.
Maintenance
SITRANS LR200 requires no maintenance or cleaning under normal operating conditions. If
cleaning becomes necessary under severe operating conditions:
1) Note the antenna material and the process medium, and select a cleaning solution that
will not react adversely with either.
2) Remove the device from service and wipe the antenna clean using a cloth and suitable
cleaning solution.
