Configuration of IS1
modules via the new DTM
Waldenburg – R. STAHL provides a new device type manager (DTM) for the IS1 remote I/O system, which not only ensures a more comprehensive information exchange between HART field devices via PROFIBUS DP V1, but also allows for complete integration of the IS1 system into FDT frame applications. The new DTM retains all extended functions of STAHL's HART gateway DTM, which has been available for some time, such as automatic topology generation, configurable slave address, HART live list, error diagnosis and I&M functions. The entire remote I/O system – all I/O modules as well as the CPM unit (CPU and power module) – can now be fully configured, parameterized and administrated by means of the DTM via an FDT-capable program. All data about the system and connected HART field devices is thus made available for analysis through suitable diagnostic tools and asset management systems. Moreover, a growing number of control systems provides direct support for FDT/DTM technology through integrated features. The IS1 DTM was designed to completely replace conventional solutions with GSD files for Profibus slave systems – a DTM-compatible DP V0 master exclusively uses the new DTM for the parameterization of and communication with IS1 components. The modular DTM design allows for a flexible configuration of IS1 systems and facilitates extensions and modifications of existing structures via the frame application. Configuration data and parameters can be changed during operation without halting the process. Diagnostic and I/O status signals can be read and written without a connected automation system, which is especially beneficial during start-up and error diagnosis. Further functions allow users to generate an audit trail, print labels for I/O modules and import or export parameter data.
