11. Nested Communication with FDT
Routing through system topology
A DTM does not have any knowledge about the network topology
A DTM must only support its own communication protocol
Communication / routing through ANY network topology, no limitations
Communication / routing is possible even if the underlying protocol is unknown by the engineering or standalone tool

24. ISA SP 103 Scope
1) To form the core of the U.S. TAG to IEC SC65E WG4 and to assist TAG to select experts from the U.S.
2) To define the interfaces for both the vertical and the horizontal data flow, called Function Control and Data Access, in the framework of a Client-Server architecture. It shall allow application software and configuration tools to interact with field devices in a unified way, while hiding the manufacturer-specific interaction with devices or sub-systems in a software module.
3) This standard shall allow any field bus, device or sub-system specific software tool to be integrated as part of a universal life-cycle management tool of a plant automation system.

25. ISA SP 103 Purpose
1) To ensure the consistent management of a plant-wide control and automation technology, it is necessary to fully integrate fieldbuses, devices and sub-systems as seamless part of a wide range of automation tasks covering the whole automation life-cycle. The main aims are:
Universal and central plant-wide tooling for the life-cycle management of heterogeneous fieldbus environments, multi-vendor devices and sub-systems independently of the automation domain (e.g. process, manufacturing)
Integrated and consistent life-cycle data of the control system including the fieldbuses, devices and sub-systems
Simple but still powerful vendor-independent integration of different automation devices and sub-systems into the life-cycle management tools of a control system.
2) The main application domains are industrial process control and manufacturing execution systems.
3) The benefits are savings in operation, engineering and maintenance of the control systems.

31. FDT Specification – The Key Points
FDT is an interface specification for integrating device specific software components
FDT specification defines mechanisms to satisfy standalone tool‘s and control system‘s requirements
FDT-Specification covers use cases:
Configuration
Parameterization
Commissioning
Diagnosis
Audit Trail
Product documentation, application documentation

32. WIB Test Results Commissioned by WIB
Performed by SHELL Global Solutions lab during Q2 and Q3 07
Compares performance of DTM and eEDDL technologies in commissioning, operation and maintenance for FF based devices
Systems:
Frames: Emerson, Invensys, Yokogawa
Stand alone tools: PACTware, Field Mate, Field Care
Devices:
Positioners: Metso,
Invensys, Emerson
Multivariable: Yokogawa
Conclusion
eEDDL offers required data accessibility and functionality as used in commissioning of FF smart devices
FDT/DTM offers required data accessibility and extended functionality as used in commissioning and maintenance of FF smart devices in a very effective manner.
More FF devices are needed in eEDDL and in FDT/DTM
The two technologies are complementary
FDT is the right platform for HMI and Applications
