DTMs
Device type managers (DTMs) are software components that provide an
interface for configuring OSA Remotes and third-party devices that support
HART. DTMs are implemented within the frame application and can be
categorized as follows:
•
Communication and gateway DTMs provided by Bedrock
Automation provide an interface to Bedrock devices on the user’s
network. Bedrock provides DTMs for network interfaces and OSA
Remotes (Controllers).
•
Device DTMs provide an interface to and allow configuration of
third-party devices that support HART. Third-party DTMs are
supplied by the device manufacturer and not Bedrock Automation.
Software Components
The following software components must be installed to configure HART
devices for use with Bedrock Secure OSA Remotes.
•
The Bedrock Field Device Tool is installed during installation of the
Bedrock IDE. A shortcut to the FDT is created on the workstation’s
desktop.
•
Bedrock DTMs are also installed during installation of the Bedrock
IDE. Bedrock DTMs will be available when configuring HART
devices (described below).
•
DTMs for third-party field devices are installed separately. Contact
the device manufacturer to obtain any files needed for installation.
Configuring OSA
Remotes with HART
Devices
This section provides an example of how to use the Bedrock FDT to setup a basic
configuration to enable an OSA Remote to communicate with a HART device.
Several of the user actions described in the example procedure are available both
in the application Ribbon as well as by right-clicking an item and selecting from
a context menu. The example procedure will show user selections from the
Ribbon.
Steps for adding gateway or device DTMs will provide instructions for both
scanning a network as well as manually adding a DTM to the network
topology. Manually adding DTMs is useful for working offline, e.g., in cases
where a network is unavailable.
