FDT/DTM standardises the communications and configuration interface between industrial field devices including gas and flame detectors, and host systems such as an asset management system being utilised at a facility. It enables any industrial field device to be configured, operated, and maintained through a standardized user interface, regardless of supplier, type, or communication protocol. In addition, FDT-enabled devices share configuration, status and diagnostic information, resulting in reduced costs over the lifecycle of a facility.Commenting on the move, Charles Hoff, product at Det-Tronics, said: “We have already seen quick adoption of the HART communication protocol in flame and gas detection, and FDT/DTM is a natural fit for continued success in petrochemical, oil, and gas applications.” www.det-tronics.com
