Field Device Technology (FDT) Explained

Field Device Technology (FDT) is the interface that communicates between the Device Type Manager (DTM) and the frame (software like PACTware).  Simply put, the FDT controls the data exchange between however many different DTMs in place and the frame program.…

Device Type Manager (DTM) Explained

Just as every device, that you add to your computer system like printers, scanners, webcams etc, have their own drivers to help you install them, instrumentation devices have their own drivers too. These are called Device Type Managers, or DTMs…

Communication Protocols in Level Measurement Explained

Level measurement instruments are made ‘intelligent’ and able to communicate to your computer network by the inclusion of communication protocols (like HART, Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus and Modbus) within the instruments, helping to enable easy plant measurement and maintenance. These ‘intelligent’…
