4.10.8.3 Semantic Identification Information

The following table lists identification elements, which have to be provided by Scan and DTM identification. After xsl transformation, the following values must be available in string format with the elements listed below in DTMScanIdentSchema and DTMDeviceTypeIdentSchema.

Semantic element nameDescriptionScanDTM
IdAddressFieldbus address of the scanned physical device. x -
IdBusProtocol Protocol identification (enum) x x
IdBusProtocolVersion Version of bus protocol
IdManufacturer Manufacturer identificationx ?
IdTypeID Device type identification x ?
IdSoftwareRevision Tool relevant version of the physical device � Firmware Version x ?
IdHardwareRevision Hardware version of the physical device x ?
IdTag Tag name, which set in the physical device x -
IdSerialNumber In order to get a common definition for all kind of protocols, a serial number is defined to be only unique for one manufacturer and device type. For world wide unique identification this attribute must always be combined with manufacturerID and deviceTypeID. x -
IdDTMSupportLevel Enum : genericSupport, profileSupport, blockspecificProfileSupport, specificSupport(=default) - x

X must be provided, - is not to be provided, ? optional
If a semantic element cannot be defined for a fieldbus protocol, the value must be set to 'NOT_APPLICABLE'.
