Starting with the THZ3 and TDZ3, Moore Industries introduced a new way for our customers to configure our products. The transmitters are both HART and DTM (Device Type Manager) programmable, which means they can be easily programmed and interrogated from anywhere at any time on a 4-20mA loop.
This can be done with a standard HART handheld communicator, a HART-compatible host or with any FDT (Field Device Tool) -compliant host or program such as PACTware (available for download at our website) utilising Moore Industries’ DTM.

At its core, the FDT model creates a unified standard for communications that take place between field devices and host systems. The DTM is the specific software component that contains data, functions and logic elements specific to the device. In the case of the THZ3 and TDZ3, the PACTware software is an interface that provides comprehensive advanced programming capability for thorough transmitter configuration.
One of the main benefits for end users of the FDT technology is that it frees them from constraints caused by being tied to a specific platform or communications method when configuring and monitoring devices. They can choose the best product for their installation and know that it can be easily integrated into their system. A single FDT frame application supports multiple communications protocols such as HART, PROFIBUS, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, DeviceNet, Interbus, AS-Interface and PROFINET IO with other protocols soon to follow.

What I have found really interesting in this post is FDT supports multiple communication protocols. Thanks for sharing an useful post.
