HAT IS FDT, PACTware AND DTM
• FDT (Field Device Tool) is a new interface code that
d
escribes the standardization between frame programs
(e.g., PACT
ware) and DTMs (Device Type Manager).
• PACT
ware (Process Automation Configuration Tool)
is a frame program. It is a device-independent software
p
rogram that communicates with all approved DTMs.
• DTM (Device Type Manager) is not a stand-alone pro-
gram but a device-specific software driver designed to
operate within a frame program such as PACTware. It
i
ncludes all special information needed to communicate
w
ith a specific device (e.g. Jupiter 200). There are two
basic categories of DTMs—Communication (HART,
Fieldbus
®
, Profibus
®
, etc.) and Field Device (e.g. Jupiter
200).
MOST COMMONLY USED SCREENS
• Online parameterization: allows the user to configure the
unit online.
• Offline parameterization: allows the user to configure the
unit offline.
•
Tank view: displays a common operating window graphi-
c
ally showing % output of level.
• Waveform: shows the actual echocurve. The waveform is
an extremely useful tool for advanced configuration and
t
roubleshooting.
• Process trend: all key data (Level, % Output, Loop) can
be trended and saved, scales can be adapted.
• Device/diagnosis: the diagnosis: the diagnosis screen
allows examination of all faults, warnings and interna-
tional messages.
TROUBLESHOOTING
This program offers a wealth of information critical to effec-
tive troubleshooting. If a problem should arise and factory
assistance is necessary for analysis, be prepared to save
and email the following files:
• ONLINE PARAMETERS: the complete list of configura-
tion data.
•
PROCESS TREND information that includes the time of
upset/error condition.
•
WAVEFORM showing upset/error condition (when
possible).
•
ERROR MONITOR (VIEW/ERROR MONITOR) including
upset/error condition.
MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Following are general requirements for proper operation of
this program:
Pentium
®
II 500 MHz processor.
128 MB RAM.
120 MB free hard disk space.
Windows
®
XP/2000 (Service Pack 1) / NT 4.0 (Service
Pack 6).
Graphic Resolution 1024x768 (16-bit color).
Internet Explorer 5.0.
RS232 serial interface.
RS232-HART or USB-HART serial interface for point-to-
point connection or RS232-RS485 converter for connection
to Hart Multiplexer.
HART communication DTM.
Transmitter with current HART revision.
CONNECTIONS
The following diagram shows a typical hardware configura-
tion. Observe all safety codes when attaching to instrument
loops in hazardous areas or when measuring fl
ammable
media. Computers are not intrinsically safe devices.
Power supply:
GP / intrinsically safe / explosion proof: min 12 V DC
Galvanic Barrier:
max: 28,4 V DC @ 94 mA
for intrinsically safe units
(not needed for GP and
explosion proof models).
