    MTL F809F-Plus (DTM) Device type manager OVERVIEW This manual applies to the Device Type Manager (DTM) for MTL F809F and MTL F809F-Plus diagnostic module. The DTM provides three key functions plus standard supporting facilities, such as printing of relevant information. The main functions of the F809F DTM and F809F-Plus DTM are Diagnosis, Compare, and Export.

  • Page 6: Running The Dtm

    RUNNING THE DTM 3 .1 Initiating the DTM on a DCS or in a FDT frame application The DTM can be run from within a distributed control system (DCS), or from a stand- alone Field Device Tool (FDT) frame application. Such tools may be named ‘Field Device Manager’, ‘FDT frame’, ‘Asset Management System’...
  • Page 7 You may find the following blocks under the root node: • Resource block (only accessible in the Configure/Setup tab) This block allows access to the F809F device block mode (Auto/OOS), as well as product-specific information (e.g. F809F device revision identifiers). •...

  • Page 8: Main Functions Of Dtm

    This is the main option for viewing both segment and device characteristics collected by the Eaton’s MTL F809F diagnostic module. Choose the data you want displayed by clicking on a specific node in the Navigation Area on the left of the screen.

  • Page 9: Screen Areas

    4 .1 .3 Screen areas The key areas of the Diagnosis screen are identified by numbers here. (1) Identification Area Shows details about the F809F module. (2) Toolbar Area The Toolbar has five buttons with the following functions: 1. Compare: Compare the F809F device values with the values exported earlier. See section 4.3.
  • Page 10 (3) Navigation area Navigate through the various blocks of your F809F diagnostic modules. Choose the data you want displayed by clicking on a specific node. Navigate through the hierarchy by clicking onto the small white arrow ( ) to expand or the small black arrow ( ) to collapse the hierarchy.

  • Page 11: Icons

    (6) Status area At the bottom of the window is the Status Bar which displays various DTM system messages and icons. 1. Connected / Disconnected Indicates whether the connection to the F809F module is established (“Connected”) or not (“Disconnected”) . 2.

  • Page 12: Symbols Used In The Dtm

    4 .1 .5 Symbols used in the DTM A black question mark besides the parameter name indicates that the parameter value is out-of-date. Out of date means that the value is not updated yet; simply wait until the question mark disappears which means that the value is updated. The pencil symbol besides the parameter name indicates that the parameter value was modified, or that it is a value from the DTM data set stored on your hard disk which may be different from the values stored inside the...

  • Page 13: The Diagnosis Tab

    4 .1 .6 The diagnosis tab This is a general description of the diagnosis tab. For diagnostics of a specific node type, see sections 5 (system node), 6 (segment node) and 7 (device node). In the Navigation Area, select the ‘diagnosis’ tab to display diagnosis values together with a corresponding status icon.

  • Page 14: The Configure/Setup Tab

    4 .1 .7 The Configure/Setup tab In the Navigation Area, select the ‘Configure/Setup’ tab to not only display diagnosis values, but also adds the capability to modify the corresponding limit values (low-low- alert, low-alert, high-alert and high-high-alert). Note that noise levels only have upper limits, as only high noise represents a problem.
  • Page 15 • DCS template Instead of modifying values in the DTM, the user performs modifications only in the DCS engineering station (through the DD). This is the typically employed procedure. Advantage: A single database is maintained. Disadvantage: Even though segments are not alike, they will all have the same set of limits. Consequently, the limits will have to leave a larger margin compared to adjusting the limits for each segment individually.

  • Page 16: Upload/Download

    4 .2 Upload/Download When the DTM is brought from offline to online, it performs an automatic upload. This is different from manual uploading, because it updates the device data set (i.e. the parameter values in the F809F module) and instance data set with the F809F module’s data, but keeps unchanged the working data set (the parameter values that the user is currently working with).

  • Page 17: 'System' Diagnostics And Configuration

  • Page 19: Configurartion/Setup Of The System Transducer Block Node

    5 .4 Configurartion/Setup of the system transducer block node 5 .4 .1 Introduction As described in section 4.1.7 , you can use three methods for configuration: • Manual • Via DCS template • Using Wizards/Methods Note that not all parameters can be configured through wizards/methods. Setting the monitored segments, non-scanning segment values to null, and alarms to latch require manual configuration.
  • Page 20 • The ‘Block modes’ are standard FF parameters and control the operation of the F809F module. Note that these parameters are normally set by the DCS system. Do not change any setting unless you are familiar with their meaning. For more information on these parameters, consult your system vendor or the fieldbus specification.

  • Page 24 • Step 1: choose new high-limit: • Step 2: choose new low-limit: Note that the limit values have to be in rising sequence at all times: Low-low-limit ≤ low-limit < high-limit ≤ high-high-limit and high limit must be at least 1 V higher than low limit. In case the user enters values that are not in sequence with the low-low-limit and high-high-limit stored in the F809F , the wizard will reject these values and provide the option to the user to enter different values (Step 3).
  • Page 25 • Step 3: Enter different values if the new limits are not in sequence You may choose to enter only a new high-limit value, low-limit value, or both values. After the values are in sequence, the wizard will finish and store the values inside the F809F .
