F8652E

The F8652E simplifies the development of compatible FDT/FRAME applications, providing an open, integrated, single access point for networks and installed assets. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) can use these tools to develop FDT/FRAME with company-specific branding, bundle FRAME applications with DTMs, and distribute them to customers as a complete turnkey solution for device parameterization. In addition, generic components can be integrated with engineering applications such as Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) programming tools, Distributed Control Systems (DCS), asset management applications or any other type of software application.

The F8652E is used to develop toolkits for smart device FDT/DTM, ensuring compliance with the FDT standard. The generic components fulfill all the basic low-level software coding requirements for instrument manufacturers developing FDT-based smart devices. They can be used for both simple and complex devices, enabling these instruments to be integrated with FDT/FRAME-enabled systems.The FDT Generic Components have been inter-tested through a series of regression tests. This ensures that FRAME and DTM products built using common components are interoperable when they arrive in the field. The use of these kits also accelerates the testing of dtm INSPECTOR certification tools through the official FDT Group certification process. FDT-enabled solutions that utilize common components will automatically green light a series of test cases that would otherwise need to be executed separately.
