FDT - Field Device Tool
FDT stands for Field Device Tool. The FDT concept makes it possible to configure, parameterize, diagnose and manage (field) devices with a single engineering tool regardless of the fieldbus or manufacturer.
Through defined interfaces and user environments, devices are uniformly integrated and parameterized independently of their type, manufacturer or underlying fieldbus protocol.
- Significant savings in the commissioning, operation and maintenance of plants
- Centralized (remote) access to any devices with a single tool
- Uniform parameterization and operation of devices from various manufacturers
