FDT: Field Device Tool
Operating via FDT (Field Device Tool)
FDT is a standard used in several software packages designed to commission and maintain
field devices such as SITRANS LR560. Two commercially available FDTs are PACTware and
Fieldcare.
Functionally FDT is very similar to PDM (see
Operating via SIMATIC PDM
on page 39 for more
detail).
• To configure a field device via FDT you need the DTM (Device Type Manager) for the
device.
• To configure a field device via SIMATIC PDM, you need the EDD (Electronic Device
Description) for the device.
Device Type Manager (DTM)
A DTM is a type of software that ’plugs into’ FDT. It contains the same information as an EDD
but an EDD is independent of the operating system.
SITRANS DTM
• SITRANS DTM is an EDDL interpreter developed by Siemens to interpret the EDD
for that device.
• To use SITRANS DTM to connect to an instrument, you must first install
SITRANS DTM on your system and then install the instrument EDD written for
SITRANS DTM.
• You can download SITRANS DTM from the Siemens service and support website at:
http://support.automation.siemens.com
. Click on Product Support then go to
Product Information/Process Instrumentation/Software & Communications.
The instrument EDD
The SITRANS LR560 PROFIBUS PA EDD for SITRANS DTM can be downloaded from the
product page of our website.
Go to www.siemens.com/LR560
under Support and click on 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. Go to: www.siemens.com/LR560
under Support and click on Application Guides.
