Features at a glance


	Operates 3rd party HART^® devices without DTM in FieldCare, the FDT-based Plant Asset Management System of Endress+Hauser
	Contains more than 600 registered HART^® EDDs from about 90 device manufacturers
	Uses Nested Communication in a plant
	Combines both device integration technologies FDT/DTM and EDDL in one solution

Field of application


	Currently there are two different technologies for device integration available: FDT/DTM (Field Device Tool/Device Type Manager) and EDDL (Electronic Device Description Language).
	iDTM-HART combines both technologies effectively and allows the integration of HART^® devices in FieldCare that have no appropriate DTM at hand. HART^® devices of about 90 manufacturers are supported. Users thus have the liberty to choose their favored device.
	iDTM-HART is handled in FieldCare as any other DTM and available within seconds in online mode. It is based on an EDD (Electronic Device Description) interpreter of the HART^® Communication Foundation (HCF) and contains over 600 registered HART^® EDDs of the HCF Library, which is updated regularly.
	iDTM-HART combines basic device functionality with the familiar DTM user interface. EDD-based devices can use Nested Communication thanks to FDT.
