DATASHEET PROSOFT.fdt PS69 PROFIBUS DP Master Configuration Software PROSOFT.fdt is an FDT (Field Device Tool) compatible frame application that allows you to easily create, configure and monitor PROFIBUS networks using the PS69-DPM Master and any compatible PROFIBUS DP Slave device. Use the simple drag-and-drop interface to select PROFIBUS DP devices from the device catalog. Double-click on any selected device to configure device properties, device IDs and memory addresses. The diagnostic mode polls devices cyclically, and presents color-coded status. Double clicking on 'red' bus participants, to view the cause of any error in clear text. FDT (Field Device Tool) compatible frame application Configure communication-capable PROFIBUS DP devices from different manufacturers in a single, industry standard tool. Graphical slave input of the fieldbus system Easy to create, configure and visualize PROFIBUS networks using the PS69-DPM Master and any compatible PROFIBUS DP Slave device Configuration of the individual bus devices without DTM’s can be easily integrated. Turns any GSD into a DTM automatically when using the PROSOFT.fdt software. The module and network are configured using the master DTM as well as serve as a communication DTM for device DTM’s. The master DTM is automatically installed with PROSOFT.ftd On-line diagnostic and statistic functions The master DTM provides the module and network diagnostics when using any compatible FDT frame such as FieldCare or PACTware FDT Technology FDT Technology closes the fieldbus gap by providing a standard way for device vendors to create user interfaces for advanced device management. FDT helps fulfill the true promise of fieldbus setup and configuration and complements other technologies such as Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL). FDT allows device manufacturers to install a single DTM (Device Type Manager) driver for a device for use with multiple Windows software products such as Asset Management, PLC programming and device configuration and parameterization. FDT provides a workspace environment for the DTM’s to be configured and a method for communication (communication DTM or comDTM) to connect from the PC to the respective field device. ProSoft Technology, Inc is a member of the FDT JIG.
