Field Device Manager (FDM)



FDM Overview

• Supports HART & Profibus device configuration and

management tasks/functions

• Uses a client-server architecture and

communicates across networks

• Handles large database of HART & Profibus devices from

multiple network communication interfaces (Experion, MUX’s,

Gateways, etc.)

• Uses DDs & DTMs to create configuration templates

• Uses live data from connected devices to establish database

records and assign templates

• Allows download of configurations from FDM to devices in the

field



FDM Basic Features

• Detects devices automatically and adds to the FDM database

• Supports universal, common practice, device specific commands and

Methods (all part of HART specs)

• Support user management features

– Creating users, login authentication, performing read/write security checks, and

setting permission levels

• Audit Trail logs pre-defined user actions, custom user actions, and some

implicit actions, as well as allows filtering

• Supports both on-line (real-time) and off-line configuration (without

connection)

• Allows importing and exporting of device data in several formats

• Supports Experion HART I/O – Series C, 1756 Series A and PMIO

– Configuration, method execution and monitoring in Experion

– Pass-through data for configuration in FDM



FDM More Detailed Features (1/3)

• Copy selected configuration values from one device to another

• Import/export offline configuration and tags in CSV format into/from FDM

• History feature to store or view device configuration history

– XML, CSV, HTML, Documint & FDM formats

• Compare configuration of two devices or with past history




• Attach device-specific documents

– Device Type level, Device Instance level, and System level

• Filter devices using various criteria

• MUX Monitoring functionality

– Allows Experion PKS to access to device diagnostic information from devices

connected to HART Multiplexer networks

• Complete device configuration from Station displays, including DTMs




• Automatic Experion Redundancy switchover

– Transparent to Experion server switchover

• Supports

– HART 5.x and HART 6.x protocol.

– EDDL (Electronic Device Description Language)

– FDT-DTM for HART and Profibus devices

– Windows® authentication and single sign-on

– Integration with Experion Station

– Profibus devices through Communication DTMs

– Network communication interfaces for HART and Profibus through

communication DTMs supplied by other device vendors

1) Install HART enabled I/O

2) Connect the HART device (using traditional wiring practices)

3) Complete the I/O Card Function Block

4) Create a HART device template (if required)

5) Create a Channel Block

6) Load the Control Module (CM)




To facilitate channel configuration all

required HART data is available

following the IOP load function.
