dtmMANAGER
Product role
dtmMANAGER is an SDK for developing device DTMs, gateway DTMs, and communication DTMs.
Associated solution package: Device Driver Development and Diagnostic Reuse.
What it is / What it is not
What it is
An SDK and toolchain for developing device DTMs, gateway DTMs, and communication DTMs.
What it is not
It is not a DTM runtime host, a complete test system, a CI/CD system, or a tool for final business-function acceptance.
User value
The core value of dtmMANAGER is not to provide a DTM runtime host, but to provide an SDK and supporting engineering assets for developing device DTMs, gateway DTMs, and communication DTMs.
For development teams, it brings solution generation, build and deployment, debugging logs, sample DTMs, and API documentation into one development path, helping teams focus on business-logic development and verification. For pre-sales and solution teams, it helps assess DTM development requirements within the Device Driver Development and Diagnostic Reuse solution package, while clearly distinguishing the responsibilities of the SDK, runtime host, third-party Frame behavior, and final business-function acceptance.
Suitable for
Device manufacturer development teams
Need to develop device DTMs and reuse a standardized project structure.
Communication and gateway device teams
Need to develop communication or gateway DTMs and standardize build, deployment, and debugging.
Pre-sales and solution managers
Need to determine whether a customer requirement concerns a DTM development SDK, a runtime host, Frame behavior, or project acceptance.
Typical use cases
A device manufacturer development team needs to develop device DTMs and reuse a standardized project structure.
A communication or gateway device team needs to develop communication or gateway DTMs.
A pre-sales team needs to determine whether a requirement concerns SDK capabilities, a runtime host, or project acceptance.
Core capabilities
FDT version range
FDT 1.2 / 1.2.1 / 2.0 / 2.1 / 3.0.
Project generation
Visual Studio wizards generate device DTM, gateway DTM, and communication DTM solutions.
Development support
Build-and-deploy, development debugging logs, BusMapping communication logs, sample DTMs, and API documentation.
FDT 2.0 specific
Installer creation and HART function development infrastructure apply only to the corresponding FDT 2.0 scenarios.
Architecture and integration relationship
dtmMANAGER is the toolchain layer in the Device Driver Development and Diagnostic Reuse path and supports the DTM development process. It provides an SDK, project generation, and development support; it does not provide the runtime host for customer DTMs or replace verification of third-party Frame behavior.
Applicable standards / versions / environments
Each dtmMANAGER product version supports only its corresponding FDT version range. Do not describe compatibility as unconditional across versions.
Out of scope
Providing a DTM runtime host environment.
Accepting the business functions of DTMs developed with this SDK.
