HART Multiplexer System KFD*-HM*-16
Configuration
Essentially, there are two different types of DTM:
• Device DTMs
Device DTMs are DTMs for configuring field devices such as transmitter power supplies,
signal converters, and trip amplifiers.
• Communication DTMs
Communication DTMs are required for communication with a device via a point-to-point
connection or via any network structures. The communication DTMs are available for
various interfaces, such as an RS-232 interface or a USB interface.
6.2 Software Components
To configure the device with a user program, you need the following software components:
• Microsoft
®
.NET Framework 3.5 or higher
• PACTware 4. 1 or higher
In accordance with FDT Specification 1.2, PACTware is used as a framework application
for DTMs supplied by manufacturers of the field devices as configuration software.
• HART Multiplexer DTM
The DTM collection comprises all device DTMs required for the parameterization of
multiplexer devices. The DTMs are used to establish communication with the field devices
using communication protocols such as the HART protocol or PROFIBUS protocol.
• DTM HART Comm
This package contains the HART communication DTM, which is necessary for
communication between the host and the HART multiplexer DTM.
• DTMs of the field devices
The manufacturers of field devices provide specific DTMs which allow access to all
functions of the respective devices and therefore allow detailed parameterization.
For further information, please contact the manufacturer of the field devices used.
• Ge n e r i c H A R T D T M
The Generic HART DTM provides the basic HART functionalities of the field devices.
If no matching device DTM is available, the Generic HART DTM is used for
basic parameterization. Therefore, we recommend that this DTM is always available.
