HART Multiplexer System KFD*-HM*-16
Configuration
Reading In the XML File for Detection of the Sub Device Type
If a manufacturer has released several devices that have the same manufacturer ID and
device type ID, a third identification attribute is required for unique identification. This attribute
is referred to as a sub device type. The attribute is defined in the FDT specification and can
be detected by any DTM. However, the identification attribute is not defined in the HART
protocol and is not recognized in device communication. The file that is read at this point
converts the identification attribute so that this information can be read in the DTM. This file
must be provided by the device manufacturer.
1. Open the Explorer by clicking Open file under the Mapping file field.
2. Select the required XML file.
The file path of the XML file is displayed in the Mapping file field.
3. Alternatively, you can enter the file path of the XML file in the Mapping file field directly.
