In what it is calling “a sign of appreciation” to loyal customers who have been using FDT/DTM (field device tool/device type manager) technology for many years and aided in its worldwide acceptance, Pepperl+Fuchs has decided to discontinue charging any license fee for a range of DTMs. As with the also free-of-charge PACTware FDT framework, the DTMs are ready-to-use and fully featured directly after Internet download and installation. DTM projects can thus set up more rapidly.
FDT/DTM technology allows fast and easy configuration of complex field devices prior to their operation. Pepperl+Fuchs customers were among the first to apply thie technology for effective commissioning and operation of Fieldbus, HART multiplexers, interface technology, remote I/O, corrosion and level Detection devices.
Specifically, DTMs for the following device types are now available free of charge: DTM Interface Technology, DTM Level Control, DTM Corrosion Detection, DTM FieldConnex. and DTM HART Multiplexers. These device type managers are available for download at Pepperl+Fuchs .
