isDP/PA-Link DTM

The Gateway-DTM isDP/PA Link DTM allows the integration of a Siemens Profibus DP/ PA Link device into any FDT Engineering and Configuration Tool (PACTware, FieldCare or other FDT Containers). So the engineering and commissioning task for a remote Profibus PA device can be handled from one central workplace.

The DTM acts as a Gateway-DTM according to the FDT Specification version 1.2 (Addendum). Based on its CommChannel it enables Device-DTMs to connect to a Communication-DTM and hereby provides the following functionality:

• Communication to Profibus PA devices attached to the Siemens DP/PA Link via DPV1 communication
• Fieldbus configuration of the attached PA devices and their DeviceDTMs
• Diagnosis of the PA segment with graphical user interface and scan of the PA segment. Attached devices are shown in a list, their address can be changed.

The Gateway-DTM can be used together with the CommunicationDTM isPro FDT and a Profibus interface (isProUSBx12 or isPro PCIx12) of ifak system or with a communication interface and FDT software of any other manufacturer.
