More about FDT/DTM
FDT/DTM provides a standard for interfaces
between an engineering tool such as Omron’s
CX-Profibus and software components that support
the field device. The core of the concept is the DTM,
a software component that can be used in all
software tools supporting the FDT human interface.
The DTM is the configuration and management
component for a field device. It contains all
configuration information, diagnostics, maintenance
information and even graphical user dialogs of the
specific device, and is very easy to load into
Omron’s CX-Profibus.
Support of both GSD files & DTMs
Most of the current Profibus-DP slave devices are
supplied with a GSD file. Omron’s CX-Profibus uses
DTMs for configuration and diagnostics. To be able
to support devices that do not come with a DTM yet
Omron has developed a special Generic Slave DTM.
The Generic Slave DTM reads the existing GSD file
and converts it into a DTM that is supported in
CX-Profibus. This DTM then provides the user
interface to display the device’s information as
defined in the GSD. Additionally, this DTM provides
a diagnostics interface to the user.
This feature protects your previous Profibus
investments, whilst allowing you to use the latest
technology at the same time!
