Pepperl+Fuchs Offers Free-of-Charge DTM Technology
The configuration and commissioning of field devices using FDT/DTM technology-based software has now become the standard in process automation. Learn why this technology is now available to you without charge …
When it comes to Field Device Tools (FDT) and Device Type Managers (DTM), Pepperl+Fuchs has been among the major driving forces to develop and establish this technology on the market. As a result, DTM technology has become a worldwide standard to allow fast and easy configuration of even complex field devices prior to their operation. Pepperl+Fuchs customers were among the first to apply this advanced configuration technology for effective commissioning and operation of Fieldbus, HART Multiplexers, Interface Technology, Remote I/O, Corrosion and Level Detection devices.
As a sign of appreciation to loyal customers who have been using the technology for years and contributed to the wide acceptance of FDT/DTM technology, Pepperl+Fuchs has decided to discontinue charging any license fees for a range of DTMs from January 2008 onward. The simultaneously dropped licensing procedure allows now setting up DTM projects faster than ever. As the also free of charge available PACTware™ FDT framework the DTMs are now ready-to-use and fully featured directly after the internet download and installation.
DTMs for the following device types are now available free of charge:
- DTM Interface Technology
- DTM Level Control
- DTM Corrosion Monitoring
- DTM FieldConnex
- DTM HART Multiplexer
You can download these device type managers at our website.
