DTM Library for FDT 2.0, 1.2 and 1.2.1 Accelerates Device Development
April 11, 2014
Dearborn Electronics’ (DE) DTM library provides a set of reusable components that accelerates the development of device DTMs, Communication DTM and Gateway DTMs.
Presently the DTM library supports HART, Profibus PA and Foundation Fieldbus, with forthcoming support for more of the major Fieldbus communication protocols. The library has already been deployed by high profile customers that used the DTM library to create DTMs for their products.
This DTM library implements the FDT DTM interfaces for FDT 1.2/1.2.1 and 2.0. The DTM library for FDT2 comes with a Wizard Manager (WM) with features such as User Controls, DTM Layout, Protocol Support and Logger Helper Functions that can be used with the official FDT 2.0 core component provided by FDT group. The DTM Library for FDT 1.2 and 1.2.1 comes with the FDT 1.2/1.2.1 core components along with the Wizard Manager.
The Wizard Manager provides the interface, business logic etc. and helps create DTMs in an interactive fashion. These DTM library components are delivered in the form of binaries which support inputs in custom XML file format and EDD formats. The DTM library’s pricing format is tuned to customer needs. The DTM library supports all Windows OS and also is compatible with any standard FDT Frame/Container applications.
DE’s DTM library capabilities continue to grow with upgrades that will include support for FDI DTMs.
