Abstract :
FieldMate is field instrument adjustment and configuration software applying Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) and Field Device Tool/Device Type Manager (FDT/DTM) technologies. The main purposes of this software include supporting a wide range of models of field instruments and field communication protocols. IT and communication technologies are advancing at a rapid rate, accompanied by the advance of field digital technologies, which has led to the increasing release of new field instruments, and progress of field communication protocols. The FieldMate should support these new instruments and protocols, and Yokogawa has been continuously paying efforts to this end since its release. We have developed device DTM (hereinafter called Built-in DTM). This report introduces the technical features and effectiveness of the Built-in DTM.
