Enhanced Device Description (EDD)
There are two types of EDDs are available, namely .ff5/.sy5 and .ffo/sym. The .ffo/.sym
binary files are generated for the legacy hosts to load the device DD that is generated using
latest tokenizer. Few constructs like Images that are supported in .ff5/.sy5 binaries, are not
supported in .ffo/.sym binary files.
Device Type Manager (DTM)
The DTM is similar to a device driver that enables usage of devices in all the asset
management and device configuration software like FDM or PACTware, with the help of the
FDT-DTM technology.
The DTM has the following primary functions:
Provides a graphic user interface for device configuration.
Provides device configuration, calibration, and management features for the
particular device.
The DTM provides functions for accessing device parameters, configuring and operating the
devices, calibrating, and diagnosing problems.
Download the DTM from: https://www.honeywellprocess.com/en-

transmitter.aspx
Go to the Software tab
To set up the DTM on the FDM/Experion refer to the FDM/Experion User Guide.
Figure 2-4 shows an example of a FF network setup.
