D-2 Advance
NOTE
Advance includes all the functions of Basic.
This version also has a database function to facilitate the management of device parameter
values, device maintenance memos, etc. Furthermore, information related to device
maintenance can even be referred to and modified prior to delivery or actual deployment of the
devices. This version can handle communication protocols other than HART, FOUNDATION
fieldbus H1, BRAIN, PROFIBUS and ISA100 devices that are not directly connected.
• Supporting comm DTM-based communication routes
Support of communication routes by comm DTM enables the addition of communication
drivers and communication protocols.
• Device Maintenance Information Management Function
This function enables maintenance information (device information, document links, device
parameters, memos, etc.) for devices to be kept and managed in databases. Up to 300
devices can be managed.
During device maintenance, for example, you can efficiently perform tasks such as referring
to documents related to the devices, managing device parameters, and creating memos
with the required files attached.
• Adoption of open FDT/DTM
FieldMate has a function that serves as an FDT frame application that complies with FDT
1.2 and FDT 2.0 Specification. Thus, a 3rd party device DTM can be incorporated and used
as a device-specific application.
• PRM Synchronization
Bi-directional file transfer operation is supported.
