Device Management PROFIBUS & HART
3BDS011222-510 B 253
Configuration and Commissioning of Field Device Type Objects
After inserting the HART or PROFIBUS Device Type Objects can be configured for
application by means of Device Type Manager (DTM).
A configuration describes the creation of a set of parameters for the particular
device in the database (Aspect Directory) of Aspect Server. For this task Fieldbus
Management has to be switched to Communication disabled mode.
The configuration of the device using a DTM is described in the associated DTM
documentation and is not included in this documentation.
Once the configuration phase is complete for all field device objects the data sets for
the particular devices or for a selection of the devices can be
• verified
• loaded to the devices / selection of devices
• saved into one or more export file(s).
These functions are performed on the Fieldbus Management aspect and its sub-
conditions.
HART Device Type Objects are not handled by Control Builder M.
Higher-level assemblies such as PROFIBUS devices, Remote I/Os and CI854 are
mainly handled in the Control builder project. It is mandatory to download the
Control Builder M project first before starting online configuration for HART
devices.
There is no synchronization of device configuration data between Control Builder
M project and the Device Type Manager (DTM). Device parameter, which may
be necessary for both parts, must be configured twice - in the Control Builder M
project and the DTM.
For example:
The device modules, which are configured in the Control Builder M project, are
not automatically available in the DTM. The used device module must be
configured also in DTM, if applicable.
It is recommended to first upload the default device parameters to the Device
Type Manager (DTM).
