In the FDT system, the management of and access to intelligent field devices is achieved by means of DTMs. DTMs are generally developed by the equipment provider, and the available technical solutions are described in the following section one by one.
dtmMANAGER
dtmMANAGER is a DTM development suite provided by M&M Software, offering a complete DTM development tool chain. It allows for the automatic generation of a runnable DTM with basic functions through a graphical wizard without the need for FDT domain knowledge. Device providers developing their own DTM based on dtmMANAGER was one of the most common development models in the past.
