introduction
TM
PACTware is Pepperl+Fuchs latest generation of configuration software that
makes it easy to program Pepperl+Fuchs's equipment. In addition to becoming
single configuration tool, PACTware
instruments as well as bus systems such as PROFIBUS, Modbus and ControlNet.
TM
PACTware offers many features that allow users to simplify plant documentation,
generate trend curves, and monitor signals using HART data. Our software uses
Device Tool Managers (DTM) to provide the interface into PACTware
Pepperl+Fuchs has created DTMs for HART capable instruments by converting their
Device Description (DD) into the appropriate DTM for use with PACTware
In order to be able to configure the device by means of a PC operating program, the
following software components are required:
1. Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
®
TM
2. PACTware 3.0 (Process Automation Configuration Tool) or later
TM
PACTware is used according to FDT Specification 1.2 (Field Device Tool
Specification) as a framework program for the DTM (Device Type Manager),
which is supplied by manufacturers of field devices as configuration software.
3. DTM Collection HART Multiplexer
The DTM Collection comprises all Device DTMs required to parameterize the
HART Multiplexer. The DTM are used to establish the communication with field
devices using protocols, such as the HART or PROFIBUS protocol.
4. HART Comm DTM
This package contains the HART communication DTMs which is necessary to
establish communication between the HOST and the HART Multiplexer DTM.
5. Generic HART DTM
The Generic HART DTM provides basic HART functionalities for field devices. It
can be used for basic parameterization in case that no field device specific DTM
is available. Therefore this DTM is recommended also in addition to field device
specific DTMs.
6. Field device specific DTMs
Vendors of field devices provide specific DTM for those. These DTMs allow
access to all functions of the devices and therefore a detailled parameterization.
For further information please refer to the specific vendors.
The software components are rendered available on CD or on the Internet at
www.pepperl-fuchs.com in the product selector via Software > PACTware.
For the latest software component, please access the product selector via
Software > PACTware.
For the HART Multiplexer DTM a licence is necessary. Without licence only one
HART Multiplexer with one field device can be used. For getting a licence please
refer to Pepperl+Fuchs.
