• Communication DTMs, e.g. PROFIBUS Master devices
• Gateways, e.g. to another network type
• Modular devices
• Other devices, e.g. slave devices
Vendors Sub groups, which can be selected are all available vendors. This information is provided by each DTM. It
allows the user to select a group of devices from one vendor.
Groups Sub groups are the device types, e.g. digital I/O, analog I/O etc.

menu, select DTM Information. This opens a window with additional DTM information. The figure
below provides an example for the CJ1W-PRM21 PROFIBUS Master DTM
CJ-series PROFIBUS Master Unit Operation Manual for NJ-series CPU Unit (W509)
The Device column contains the names of the DTMs, as provided by the DTM or
the GSD file. If the device is defined by a GSD file, the Generic Slave Device DTM
reads out the GSD file entry "Model Name". The string provided by this variable is
the name displayed in the list.
The version number defines the revision number of the device. If the device is
defined by a GSD file, the Generic Slave Device DTM reads out the GSD file entry
"Revision". The string provided by this variable is the version number displayed in
the list.
For DTMs, Date is the date associated with the revision. For GSD file based slaves,
the date listed in this column is the date the GSD file was last modified.
The Vendor name is provided by the DTM or the GSD files.
