What is PD CLC/TR 62453-61 - Device type manager about?
PD CLC/TR 62453-61 is the 61st part of the IEC 62453 multi-series that discusses field device tool interface specifications.
PD CLC/TR 62453-61, which is a technical report, explains the guidelines and rules for the implementation of a device type manager (DTM) with regard to the user interface and its functions. These guidelines and rules are part of the FDT specification and are intended to ensure that all users are provided with clear and consistent user interface functions and features across DTM devices in a system.
Who is PD CLC/TR 62453-61 - Device type manager for?
PD CLC/TR 62453-61 on implementation of device type manager into field device tool interface specification is useful for:
- The IT industry
- Software programmers
- FDT developers
- Networking sectors
Why should you use PD CLC/TR 62453-61 - Device type manager?
A device-specific software component, called DTM (Device Type Manager), is supplied by the field device manufacturer with its device. The DTM is integrated into engineering tools. The approach to integration is in general open for all kinds of fieldbusses and thus meets the requirements for integrating different kinds of devices into heterogeneous control systems. To ensure the consistent management of a plant-wide control and automation technology, it is necessary to fully integrate fieldbusses, devices and sub-systems as a seamless part of a wide range of automation tasks covering the whole automation life-cycle. This integration also requires a consistent look and feel of device-specific components.
Using DTMs compliant with PD CLC/TR 62453-61 enables the user to operate more efficiently and more safely. The user is able to parameterize and manage the data of devices from various manufacturers in a uniform way.
Therefore, PD CLC/TR 62453-61 presents its user with a clearly structured concept regardless of the manufacturer or the type of the device.
