Device Management and Fieldbus

ABB’s tools, whether Device Management Tools or Layout Tools, support the field instruments through their lifecycle, from planning, configuration and start up to diagnostics and maintenance.

ABB utilizes the FDT/DTM technology (Field Device Tool/Device Type Manager), which provides supplier and tool independent engineering and maintenance of field devices, regardless of manufacturer or protocol and thus removing the need for multiple tools.

Moreover, based upon the DTM certification ABB Instrumentation now is the first who approves that the ABB device DTM's comply with the FDT interface.

We offer our customers the option to choose the best fieldbus protocol for almost every application, special solutions for Intrinsic Safety and increased Availability – simply Freedom of Choice.
