Introduction Honeywell Field Device Manager

Field Device Manager (FDM) provides instrument technicians, engineers and maintenance personnel with an environment that simplifies tasks associated with smart instrument management, such as:

Configuration Diagnostics Maintenance

FDM provides an open architecture that enables use of smart diagnostic data in any device from any vendor.

Product Overview FDM is an asset management system for configuration and maintenance of smart field devices based on HART, Profibus and Foundation Fieldbus protocols. It provides support for:

HART devices via Experion-connected HART I/O, HART devices via non-Experion-connected HART

multiplexers and modems, HART devices via Safety Manager Universal Safety I/O

and Universal Safety Logic Solver, Profibus networks and PA (Process Automation) or DP

(Decentralized Peripherals) devices using Profibus communication and Device Type Managers (DTMs),

HART devices connected to Profibus networks via HART-over -Profibus gateway devices, and

Foundation Fieldbus devices via Experion-connected Fieldbus I/O.

FDM allows the user to manage configuration of a large number of devices via FDM clients connected to multiple, distributed FDM servers. FDM users can remotely access and change HART, Fieldbus and Profibus device configuration settings.

Open Standards Support

FDM supports industry open standards, thereby enabling its use as a single tool for managing plant-wide smart instrumentation, irrespective of the device type or manufacturer. FDM uses unmodified vendor Device Description (DD) files and Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) files (HART only), as well as Device Type Managers for performing device configuration, management and diagnostics tasks. Functions and

features described in the DD/EDDL file or DTM are supported.

FDM fully supports the EDDL enhancements to the DD language specifications. These include advanced graphical features, data storage and manipulation features, and advanced parameter organization.

FDM does not require additional files or programming to add support for new devices or to access device specific features.

HART Protocol

The Highway Addressable Remote Transducer protocol,

commonly known as HART, has existed as an open protocol since 1993 and provides a method to access information resident in smart field devices, such as transmitters, analyzers, and valve positioners. HART is administered and maintained by the HART Communication Foundation (HCF), and is owned by HCF member companies. A complete list of available registered devices and member companies can be obtained from the HCF web site at http://www.hartcomm2.org/.

Device Description Files

Device Description (DD) files contain electronic descriptions of device parameters and functions needed by a host application to

communicate with the devices. They are written according to the DD language specification. DD files are device-specific and are developed and made available by device vendors.

EDDL, or Electronic Device Description Language, represents a significant extension to the DD language specification and includes such enhancements as:

graphical elements and waveforms, standardized access to historic measurements and

device performance information, vendor-specified organization of device parameters,

and


enhanced tools for high-level information display and control system use.

EDDL enhancements provide for an improved user interface compared with the DD specification, with support for menus (windows, tabs and groups), graphs, charts and dial indicators. EDDL further standardizes the user interface for managing intelligent devices and eliminates the need for Windows resource files, supplemental files, and other modifications.

FDM provides full support of HART devices by interpreting both DD and EDDL files. It utilizes all the features of any HART device, irrespective of the vendor or manufacturer, the device version, and the release date. Support for DD and EDDL files includes device-specific commands, device-specific configuration, plus diagnostics and status information.

The use of DD files enables FDM to make use of the HART protocol to provide asset management functions like device diagnostics, which help reduce fault isolation effort and enable higher plant uptime.

Field Device Tool (FDT) Technology

Increasingly complex and sophisticated field devices have led to device-specific software applications that access and analyze information about the field

device and its condition. FDT provides an open standard for integration of such software applications. FDM supports that standard.

FDT standardizes communication between field devices and systems. The key feature is its independence from the communication protocol and the software environment of either the device or the host system.

The device supplier develops a Device Type Manager (DTM) for each of its devices or group of devices. The DTM can alternately be developed directly from the DD file if available. The DTM encapsulates device-specific data, functions and rules, such as the device structure, its communication capabilities, internal dependencies, and the human machine interface (HMI) structure. The DTM provides functions for accessing device parameters, configuring and operating the device, and diagnosing problems. DTMs can range from a simple graphical user interface (GUI) for setting device parameters to a highly

sophisticated application capable of performing real-time diagnosis and maintenance calculations. The DTM is installed as a Windows application and loaded and launched in an FDT container or "frame" application. In the case of FDM, this frame is the FDM Client. It provides the FDT container that defines the interface between FDM and the DTMs. Frame applications can be device configuration tools, control system-engineering tools, operator consoles or asset management tools. The frame application also contains communication components to interface the host system with the specific communication protocol (e.g., HART, PROFIBUS, Fieldbus, etc.). For FDM, the Client initiates the DTM and enables the device to interoperate with the system engineering and operating environment.

Foundation Fieldbus

FOUNDATION Fieldbus (FF) is a technology for integrating bus-powered field devices with digitally-based process control systems. It defines how "smart" field devices communicate and operate with other devices in a control network. A unique feature of FF technology is control in the devices.

FDM supports FF devices connected to Experion for which vendor-specific DTMs are available. These devices are connected to the Fieldbus Interface Module, or FIM. Because Experion provides full DD and EDDL support for FF, DTM support in FDM is considered to be supplemental, primarily for the purpose of running diagnostics and other asset management functions. Note that DD and EDDL files for Fieldbus devices are managed in Experion, not in FDM.

Standards Versions

FDM fully supports HART devices with HART protocol versions 5.X, 6.X and 7.X. FDM supports Device, Gateway and Communication DTM types with version 1.2.1.


Tight Integration with Experion & Safety Manager

FDM is tightly integrated with Experion and Safety Manager. The various aspects of this integration include:

Connectivity with Experion: FDM connects to all Experion HART and Fieldbus enabled I/O devices, automatically building its database from the Experion database.

Multiplexer (MUX) Monitoring: The FDM MUX Monitoring option monitors HART devices on hardware multiplexer/remote I/O networks and provides alerts to the Experion alarm and event system.

Integration with Experion Device Detail Displays: HART and Fieldbus device detail displays in Experion Flex Stations include an optional integrated capability to view/configure FDM data via an embedded client. Note this is limited to Flex Station only.

Integration with Safety Manager: FDM supports Safety Manager Universal Safety I/O and Universal Safety Logic Solver in two network configurations Experion with Safety Manager integrated and standalone Safety Manager. When connected to Experion, the user has the option to view safety-connected HART device alerts in Experion.

Key FDM Functions and Features The summary below describes important FDM features. Note that many features and functions are optional, as indicated in the Model Number section of this document.

Instrument Configuration and Diagnostics: With FDM, fully configure, calibrate and diagnose any HART, Fieldbus or Profibus device from any vendor. FDM uses unmodified vendor-created DD files (for HART only) or DTM based software plug-ins for performing all these functions with the device.

Instrument Database: FDM includes a centralized instrument database that is capable of storing the current and historical configurations and details of a large number of HART, Fieldbus and Profibus devices.

HART Device Communications: FDM communicates with HART 5, 6, and 7 devices connected to Experion HART enabled I/O as well as HART devices connected to hardware multiplexers, remote I/O systems and HART modems.

Fieldbus Device Communications: FDM communicates with Fieldbus devices connected to Experion FIMs via vendor-supplied DTMs. All features provided by the DTM are supported.

Audit Trail: FDM can maintain an audit log of user actions performed on the device, describing the action made, the user and the timestamp for each event. The audit log is designed to support users (such as the pharmaceutical industry) that must meet the requirements of 21 CFR Part 11.

MUX Monitoring: The MUX Monitoring option continuously monitors HART devices on hardware multiplexer/remote I/O networks and provides alerts from these devices as standard Experion alarms and events as well as device on-line data for displays.

Offline Configuration: FDM can provide the ability to configure devices offline and store the configuration into a database or file. The configuration can then be downloaded to a device once the device is online. This is supported for DD as well as for DTM driven device configurations.

Export/Import: FDM can export live and historical device data, the list of devices, etc., into a common file format for use with other applications.

Display Filters: FDM provides the ability to configure custom views of the plant network and then view a subset of associated devices with a user friendly name such as UNIT 1 or ALL HON STT25H.

Enhanced History Functions: History records of devices can be saved, using user friendly names for convenience. History can be managed with features such as the ability to delete a specific history record or a set of history records.

Device Documentation Support: FDM allows you to add device documentation, such as user manuals and P&ID diagrams, to the FDM database. Documents associated with a device are easily invoked from FDM Client.

Experion Redundancy Support: FDM supports automatic Experion Redundancy switchover such that there is no loss of network view. No action is required to re-detect devices.

Backup and Restore Capability: The FDM database can be backed up and restored using a dedicated utility for that purpose. In addition, functions like the merge of two databases can be achieved by using the export/import feature.

Security: Access to FDM is secured via a user ID and password. FDM provides a role-based security system that allows administrators to define site-specific roles and assign allowed tasks for these roles. The user authentication system can be based on FDM specific application level security or the Windows login. FDM supports single sign-on when Windows based security is used.


FDM HART Multiplexer: This option allows vendor-specific third-party software tools to access HART devices connected through Experion HART-enabled I/O or multiplexer-connected I/O. This way, device-specific software applications can integrate with FDM. Applications must be capable of supporting the P+F KFD HART multiplexer system communication protocol.

Device Access Control: FDM provides a unique Device Access Control feature whereby write access to any device, set of devices, or entire network can be managed under password protection. This is especially critical for safety-connected devices.

Health Status: FDM provides health monitoring for all HART, Fieldbus and Profibus devices. This even extends to HART-over-Profibus.

Detailed Functions in FDM

Device Parameter History Database

The FDM database stores all parameters for each connected device when requested by the user. The historical device parameter data is accessible through the device tag and is available for comparison purposes. The comparisons can be made with historical data or current data.

Audit Trail

Audit Trail is an optionally licensed feature of FDM. When available, FDM records all actions performed by the user. Examples of the recorded actions include:

Device parameter changes Device method executions and results Discovery of devices on the network Malfunctions reported by devices or the networks

connected

Each audit log item is stored with the timestamp, user name and the action performed along with all applicable details (device tag, etc.). It is possible to export the audit trail into a XML file and use for printing or reporting purposes. This feature helps plant operations and maintenance comply with standards for change management and automate documentation generation for audits. The audit trail functionality allows users to meet the 21 CFR Part 11 regulations. It is also possible to manually add an event to the audit trail which is useful for

tracking inspections, tracking checks, and closing a work order ticket.

Multiplexer Monitoring

Multiplexer Monitoring, also called MUX Monitoring, is an optionally licensed feature used when hardware multiplexers or remote I/O systems are used to connect to HART devices. Hardware multiplexers are used, for example, with Honeywell Fail Safe Controller (FSC), Safety Manager, PMD Controller, TPS or third party PLCs and DCS systems that do not support HART enabled I/O. Remote I/O systems are used when third party I/O is integrated with Experion via open protocols like Profibus/Modbus.

With this feature, FDM continuously monitors the HART devices on the hardware multiplexer/remote I/O network. It raises alerts for all devices reporting problems and provide on-line data for displays. The alerts from these HART devices are available as normal alarms and events in Experion.

Additional features include:

The ability to have simultaneous configuration and monitoring of devices on the same multiplexer/remote I/O network

Supports commonly used HART multiplexers Provides tools that makes engineering of the solutions

easier The Multiplexer Monitoring functionality requires an Experion Server and a node running the ACE component. With TPS systems, an Experion Server TPS (ESVT) will provide the required support. TPS sites with many HART devices may consider this feature along with an HMI upgrade. With FSC or Safety Manager, this feature helps provide the uniform presentation of HART data in a system where FSC or Safety Manager does not use HART enabled I/O.

The Multiplexer Monitoring functionality is available with MTL, P+F, Elcon and R. Stahl multiplexer networks. Experion process I/O point licenses must be considered for HART devices connected to use this feature. For all devices being monitored through multiplexers/remote I/O systems, it is necessary to purchase process I/O point licenses as part of the Experion Server point license count.


Offline Configuration

Offline Configuration is an optionally licensed feature and allows users to configure devices without them being physically present. Such configurations are stored using user friendly names in the database or in separate files, and they can be downloaded to devices when they are physically connected. Configurations can also be captured and stored in the database from live devices, from device history or be created completely from scratch.

This feature greatly reduces configuration effort during plant startup. Maintenance can use this function during production to easily replace a faulty device with a new one by simply taking the historical configuration of the faulty device and downloading it to the new device.

FDM HART Multiplexer (FHM)

In addition to support by DD files and DTM standards, some vendors provide device-specific software tools that interact with their specific HART devices to perform special tests or configuration actions. In this case, the FDM software emulated HART Multiplexer can be used as the bridge between the vendors third-party application and any matching HART devices in the FDM system. The FDM HART multiplexer runs on a separate FDM Client PC on which the third-party application also runs. The FDM Client component is needed to configure the link between a HART device and its special third-party application.

Device Documentation Support

This feature is available as part of the base FDM license. It allows users to attach and associate documentation with devices stored in the FDM database. Such documents are made available to users whenever the device is being viewed in the FDM display. The documentation can be of any format (Word, Excel, PDF, etc.). The documents can be added at various levels:

Plant Level: Documents added at this level are available from the context menus of all devices opened in FDM. The documents ideal for this level include plant standard procedures, safety manuals, etc.

Device Type Level: Documents added at this level are associated with a device type (such as a STT25H or DVC 6000) and are available from the context menus of all devices of this type opened in FDM. The documents ideal for this level include device manuals.

Device Level: Documents added at this level are associated with an individual device and are available from the context menus of only this device. The documents ideal for this level include instrument maintenance records, special instructions etc.

Security and access control

FDM provides a secure environment protected by user ID and password. FDM supports role based security, which allows administrators to define site-specific roles and assign tasks to be allowed for these roles. The user authentication system can be based on an FDM specific application level security or on the users Windows login ID.

FDM supports single sign-on when Windows based security is used. This can be used in both Windows domain and Windows workgroup environments.

FDM also provides a unique application level security, whereby a user can lock a particular device configuration and prevent users of lower access levels from making changes to the device setup.

Export/Import Capability

FDM provides the ability to export the following information into a HTML, XML, or CSV (for use with Excel) files:

Current device configuration with parameter values Device history with parameter values Device parameter and methods audit trail information System audit trail info

FDM Components

The architecture diagram in Figure 1 depicts an example FDM system combined with Experion and non-Experion I/O. Other concepts are given in illustrations on page 12. There are three major components of FDM. They are:

FDM Server: FDM Server is the core component and provides configuration and management functionality. Server maintains the database for all connected HART, Fieldbus and Profibus devices. FDM Server can run in either a server or workstation grade machines

FDM Client: FDM Client, which can connect remotely to any available FDM Server, provides the user interface. FDM Clients can be distributed throughout the plant, providing access to device data from remote


PCs. The FDM Client is also needed to run FDM HART Multiplexer.

FDM RCI: The FDM Remote Communication Interface allows devices connected to remote or local PCs to communicate with the Server over a local or wide area network. This network greatly expands the distance limits of local serial (RS-485) communication networks used with MUXs, modems and remote I/O systems.

FDM RCI can be installed in PCs in remote relay rooms where RS-485 cables terminate. Connection between the FDM RCI to the FDM Server is accomplished via Ethernet. FDM RCI will also allow for a connection to a HART modem or a Honeywell Smart HART DE modem through an RS-232 port for local bench top configuration.

The FDM Server also connects to popular hardware multiplexers, remote I/O systems and to RS232 HART modems either directly or through the FDM RCI.

Supported HART Networks

FDM allows the user to connect to and communicate with HART field devices through four different networks. The user can monitor or change device configuration through the following architectures or HART networks.

Experion

FDM interfaces with Experion Server over an Ethernet network and provides access to the HART and Fieldbus devices connected to the respective I/O. HART I/O makes use of both analog and digital data, but only the digital HART information is passed onto FDM. HART I/O modules exist for Experion Series C, Experion Chassis I/O Series A, and PMIO. For Fieldbus, the 2-Link Series A FIM, 4-Link Series C FIM and 8-Link Series C FIM are supported.

FDM R410 requires Experion R400 or greater. Earlier versions of FDM are compatible with earlier versions of Experion.

HART Hardware Multiplexers/Remote I/O systems

HART Hardware Multiplexer systems have existed for many years and are useful where HART enabled I/O are not available. Terminal panels are used to split the HART analog signal and the digital signal into two distinct pathways. The analog signal is routed directly to the control or logic system while the digital data is routed through a separate (RS-232/RS-485) communication link.

Hardware MUX solutions from P+F, MTL, Arcom, Elcon and R. Stahl are supported by FDM. These interfaces can

be used with Honeywell TPS, FSC, PMD, and non-Experion controllers and PLCs.

HART Modem

The HART modem allows the user to configure HART devices in the maintenance shop and on the bench top. Connection is made using one of the PC serial COM or USB ports. The port connects to a HART modem, and the modem connects to the HART device. HART modems are available from multiple third party suppliers.

Honeywell Smart (HART + DE) Modem

FDM also supports the connection to HART devices through the Honeywell HART DE Modem. Note that only the HART mode is supported.

HCF, FDT/DTM, and Device Vendor Testing

The HART Communication Foundation (HCF) developed standard application program source code for DD-enabled hosts, like FDM, and handhelds, to use as the core online configuration tool. This program is known as SDC-625 (Smart Device Configurator), and its source code is used in FDM as the basis for DD interpretation and device configuration. It is also the basis of Honeywells MC Toolkit Configurator, a Pocket PC-based engineering and maintenance tool.

SDC-625 is used by the HCF as the basis for all HART device registration testing. It is also used by most device vendors as the basis for their device development and testing. Because FDM uses the same code as the HCF testing program, Honeywell does not maintain a test program for HART devices. Experience with a large

number of HART devices to date combined with the maturity of the HART specifications has proven this to be a valid assumption.

Honeywell maintains a test program for the qualification of device DTMs with Field Device Manager. Although most devices integrate easily, in some cases device manufacturers interpretations of the FDT/DTM specifications may vary. This test program is essential to identifying and addressing any such issues. It is not a requirement to test devices to insure they will work correctly with FDM, but we are happy to test any HART, Fieldbus or Profibus device DTM at no charge Migration

FDM supports migration from the previous two releases to the current release. During migration, the database contents and any user created resources/templates are retained. Any changes to the database are made to the existing ones to comply with the new format.

Safety Manager Integration

The Safety Network interface enables you to communicate with HART devices associated with Universal Safety I/O Modules connected to Safety Manager (SM) systems. Universal Safety I/O and Universal Safety Logic Solver modules with HART capabilities are connected to the network via the SM Controllers, and FDM accesses HART devices through the SM Controllers.

Two network configuration options are available, Experion with integrated Safety Manager and standalone Safety Manager.

FDM Gateway PC

The FDM Gateway PC runs the ACE component, and therefore FDM Gateway is recommended to be installed in a PC which meets ACE platform requirements. The PE T610 and PE R710, suitable for the FDM Server performance grade PC, are supported and qualified for FDM R430 Gateway nodes. Note that this node may not be used as a licensed Experion ACE node.

Virtualization Support

All FDM components Server, Gateway, Client, and RCI have been tested with VMware and are fully supported. For more general information about virtualization, please refer to PN-11-16-ENG, Honeywell Process Solutions Virtualization Overview. For relevant VMware specifications, refer to EP03-700-100, HPS Virtualization Specifications, Ver.1.3 or later. The performance requirements for running FDM nodes in a virtualization environment are captured in the HPS Virtualization Spec and will not be listed in this document.


Virtualization Client Access Licenses

Honeywell provides value add additions to the virtualization layer. For this additional value, a Client Access License (CAL) is required for the use of FDM Software in a virtualized environment when used at Level 2. This is not required for Level 3 and above. Some of the things that Honeywell provides with these CALs include:

VMware Certified TAC professionals located in each region around the world Extensive certification and approval for our applications to ensure that they work correctly virtualized Testing and guidance around VMware patches Development of solutions such as the Backup Control Center solution that solves new industry problems leveraging

virtualization. Implementation and Planning Guide that provides the best practices for installing and configuring your virtual

environment. Supply, support the complete virtual environment including the Hardware, Hypervisor, OS and Honeywell Software.

FDM Virtualization Client Access License models can be found in the Model Number section of this specification. The following rules apply to FDM Virtualization CALs:

FDM Virtualization Server CAL, HC-FDMVMS, applies to FDM Server and FDM Gateway. FDM Virtualization Client CAL, HC-FDMVMC, applies to FDM Client and FDM RCI. A CAL must be purchased for each running, on-process Level 2 virtual machine that contains the referenced node. A CAL is NOT required for (a) Level 3 and above, (b) a node which is already covered by a CAL license, such as

Experion Station, or (c) an off-process virtualized node used for backup or training. The term on-process in this case means FDM is connected to any external system, Honeywell or third party, where

that connection is used to access real-time or historical data. Data in the system is live process or instrument information.

FDM Server itself Communication Servers RCIs Network Interfaces

The FDM Client and FDM RCI can be installed on the same PC as Experion Flex Station. The FDM Client and FDM RCI cannot be installed on the same PC as Experion Console Station (ES-C) and TPS Station (ES-T).

An FDM Client can connect to one FDM Server at a time. The Server connection is established when launching Client and can be changed from within the client without closing FDM.

No other server-based application or any application using SQL Server may be installed in the same PC as the FDM Server.

Experion Server may not be installed in the same node as FDM Server. When used with a redundant Experion Server configuration, under normal conditions FDM should be configured

to communicate with the backup server. One FDM RCI can connect to one FDM Server only. If an RCI in the same PC as FDM Server is used for large MUX networks, the RCI can have a negative impact on

Server performance. When MUX Monitoring feature is used, the FDM Server can talk to and raise alerts to up to 6 Experion Servers. Each HART device connected to Experion via FDM Multiplexer Monitoring counts as 1 process point license to

the Experion system. For Fieldbus devices, FDM supports only the DTM view. DDL/EDDL view is seen from Experion only. An FDM Gateway PC can connect to only one Experion Server. Even if two FDM Gateways reside in the

Gateway PC, they must both connect to the same Experion Server. No MUX hardware license is required for standalone Safety Manager (SM) and Universal Safety I/O to connect to

FDM. Connection is via Ethernet. For Experion-connected SM and I/O, no other license beyond the Experion interface license is required.

For Experion-connected SM and Universal Safety I/O, MUX Monitoring is required if HART device alarms are needed in Experion. One MUX Monitoring license is required per Experion Server.

PGM Lite 2 Softing 4 T&H 4 PMD 2

The FDT Communication Tool resides in RCI nodes. Its full name is FDT Communication Configuration Tool, and it is used to configure Comm DTM networks using the Comm and Gateway DTMs on the RCI machine.

DTM load times can vary considerably, depending on following parameters: 1) Complexity of the device; 2) Number of Gateways connected to the Communication DTM; and 3) Number of concurrent DTMs loaded from a given Communication DTM.

Profibus device configuration is supported only through DTMs. Qualified Comm DTMs current include PMD, T&H xEpi, Softing FG100 and Brad USB. Qualified Gateway DTMs currently include Siemens ET200M, Siemens DP Link/DP-PA Coupler, P&F SK3, and Phoenix Contact. Unqualified Comm, Gateway and Device DTMs need to be qualified with FDM. Versions of Qualified PMD tools and qualified device DTMs will be documented in the software change notice.

A Gateway DTM is a software communication component representing the Gateway device in the field. For example, HART over Profibus Gateway DTM represents a Gateway connecting HART devices to a Profibus network.


Note on HART device data load times

A common question asked is, What is the time taken by FDM to completely load a device? Generally, this refers to reading of essential parameters in the device. There is no one answer, and this note explores factors affecting HART device load times.

There are no typical HART devices. Each HART device is unique, and the HART standard allows vendors to customize devices by adding parameters and functions. More parameters do not necessarily result in higher load times, as each HART message can have up to 255 bytes of data, and vendors can pack several parameters into a single HART message. HART DD files also may have parameter attributes with conditionals. The host will have to resolve the conditionals by fetching data from the device. Conditional constructs in DD files increase the device load times.

Similarly, DTMs send their requests serially, even though FDM is capable of processing several HART message requests simultaneously. A DTM waits until the response for the first request is received before the second one is sent. This considerably slows down the data call up times for that device within FDM.

The above factors can affect the time taken by FDM to load a device. These factors can only be altered by the device manufacturer or vendor. There is no fixed limit on the number of Communication DTM, Gateway DTMs and Devices that can be added in FDT Comm Console. The number of Communication DTMs, Gateway DTMs and Devices depend on the type of the DTMs and the resource and memory consumption of the DTMs being used.

Note on FDT network loading

Since DTMs have varied resource and memory consumption, the number of Communication and Gateway DTMs that can be added to an FDT Network must be calculated based on the resource and memory load they add to the system (through the FDT Comm Console). An FDT Spec Calculator has been created for the purpose of determining this load based on the number of Communication DTMs, Gateway DTMs, devices and RCIs used. This is available from the On-Line Support (OLS) web site at http://hpsweb.honeywell.com/Cultures/en-US/default.htm. The tool provides loading for DTMs that have been qualified and will be updated periodically. To ensure optimized performance, the recommended percentage load on a given FDT Comm Console is 50%.
