FDT/DTM Configuration

Navigating the DTM

Use Control Expert as a Field Device Tool (FDT) to configure Device Type Manager files (DTMs). A DTM defines the device-specific configuration software of each BMEAHI0812 HART analog input module, and BMEAHO0412 HART analog output module.

NOTE: You can use a third-party FDT to configure the module DTM including, for example, FieldCare Asset Management Software by Endress+Hauser or PACTware a free download from the PACTware Consortium. If you elect to use a third-party FDT, not all of the device configuration dialogs will be accessible.

To open a DTM for configuration, right-click a device DTM in the DTM Browser and select Open from the context menu. The fdtConfiguration window opens for the selected DTM.

Use the tree control on the left of the window to navigate the following device configuration dialogs:

Module Overview
Address Table
General Information
Host Communication Status
Instrument Status
Multiplexer Status
Process Data
Configuration:
- SNMP Configuration
- Parameter Configuration
