What is DTM?
DTM (Device Type Manager) is a standard way to provide all necessary data and
functionality for a communication device, for example a PROFIBUS DP card.
This technology is similar to the way Microsoft Windows supports printer drivers
supplied by manufacturers and available to any Windows application, rather than
requiring a custom printer driver for each specific application.
PROFIBUS comDTM, distributed by ProSoft Technology, is a DTM for PTQ and
MVI series PDPMV1 modules and ProLinx PDPMV1 gateways. It allows
configuration tools, instruments and communication devices on a field network to
recognize and use the module's capabilities.
