Section 3.10: Device Type Manager (DTM)
The (DTM) provides an interface between its specific application software and a Network Host
Station’s Field Device Tool (FDT) frame. The DTM can be integrated into FDT frame applications to
allow users to perform offline and online parameterization, configuration, and status and diagnostic
retrieval. An enhanced graphical user interface allows the user access to the following:
Dashboard - The Dashboard is the default view of the DTM. It shows the online health status of the
actuator, valve, and overall control response. It shows real time measured values of setpoint, posi-
tion, position deviation, motor temperature, compartment temperature, supply voltage and frequency.
The setpoint mode can be selected and modified from the Dashboard. The Dashboard uses intuitive,
user-friendly graphics to display vital data.
Alarms - The DTM annunciates the real time alarm information received from the device.
Diagnostics - multiple views are included to provide diagnostics through - Limigard, Travel
Histogram, Partial Stroke Test, Built In Self Test, Data Logger, and Operation Log.
Configuration - All the configurable parameters of the device are read and written in the configura-
tion views. These variables are presented in groups such as Actuator, Tuning, ESD Settings, Relay
Configuration, Units, Analog Transmitters, FF Information, FF Block Information, and Valve.
