Yokogawa announces world's 1st Foundation fieldbus Device DTM

25 July 2008

This certification marks another step forward for Yokogawa's VigilantPlant Asset Excellence initiative, allowing users of Yokogawa's intelligent Foundation fieldbus devices to tap user-friendly field device tool (FDT)/DTM technology with the guarantee of interoperability and trouble-free installation.

Innovative process plants today utilise the Hart, Profibus, and Foundation fieldbus intelligent field communications protocols, making use of a rich variety of field information to improve the safety, reliability, and productivity of plant operations while optimising maintenance. FDT/DTM is a complementary open technology that allows users of these advanced field communications protocols to access and utilise device information regardless of the host system or communications protocol.

This certified Foundation fieldbus device DTM is fully interoperable with all certified frame applications, including Yokogawa's latest FieldMate R1.03 and PRM R3.02 asset management systems. This allows users intuitive access to all the advanced features of FOUNDATION fieldbus devices.
