 Scan and Build Feature
The Scan and Build function can be used to scan a communication, gateway, or field device. This
function is enabled only when the communication or gateway DTM is connected.
When you run the scan function on a communication device or gateway device, it scans the
selected channel and displays a list of gateway devices and field devices that are directly
connected to it. You can choose to add newly detected gateway devices and field devices to the
FDT project. For gateway devices and field devices that already exist in the FDT project, you can
choose to update their information.
The maximum number of devices that you can add to a single FDT project is 100.
 Scanning Communication or Gateway Devices
Follow these steps to scan a communication or gateway device:
1. On the FDT Topology, from the FDT Project, select the communication or gateway device
that you want to scan.
2. Connect the communication or gateway device.
