Chapter 1
Getting started
Use this section to learn background information about device type manager (DTMs), get an overview of system requirements, and for links to download locations for the software.
FactoryTalk® Linx™ Comm DTM is a communication device type manager (DTM). DTMs are similar to device drivers and provide a graphical interface to make the device configuration, maintenance, diagnostics and troubleshooting easier. There can be several DTMs in use on a system.
An FDT/FRAME™ application, such as a device configuration tool, system engineering tool, operator console, or asset management tool provides access to all devices, gateway and communication components.
All of the DTMs must be installed on the same computer as the FDT/FRAME™ application.
DTMs are designed to an open and non-proprietary standardized interface that supports the integration of field devices with engineering, automation and asset management systems. As such, configuration and management tasks are similar in the different DTMs.
FDT Technology
The FDT Group AISBL is an international non-profit corporation consisting of leading global member companies active in industrial automation manufacturing – whether it’s process, factory or hybrid. The major purpose of the FDT Group is to provide an open and non-proprietary standardized interface for the integration of field devices with engineering, automation and asset management systems.
The FDT® solution is not a communication protocol, but rather a standardized asset integration and data delivery technology. It unifies and empowers today’s industrial automation infrastructure with a single engineering environment to integrate any device asset and network with access to performance-driven data from sensor to enterprise. This includes a common environment for accessing the most sophisticated device features. The

technology enables configuration, operation and maintenance through a single, standardized user interface – regardless of supplier, device type/function or communication protocol.
System topology
This diagram illustrates how the different parts of the system work together.
FDT Technology is an open standard for enterprise-wide network and asset integration, transforming the way industrial automation architectures connect and communicate sensor to cloud. Ongoing advancement of this technology is leveraging major developments like the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 to enable end users to realize the true potential of decentralization, interoperability, integration, as well as a unified view of all data and functions across process, factory and hybrid control applications.
FDT was built to support a comprehensive, open architecture for the connected world of industrial automation networks and assets. The backbone architecture, standardized independent of industrial automation networks, allows for a comprehensive networking integration model allowing for seamless integration mapping to connect intelligent assets relaying device-specific diagnostics data enterprise-wide.
With the FDT solution, users can monitor a few critical inputs or thousands of inputs. The architecture adapts to any field communication protocol that may be needed, and the use of network tunneling allows an FDT/FRAME to seamlessly talk through any number of disparate network layers to the end device. All common networks for the process, hybrid and discrete industries are supported by the FDT standard. When incorporating a network into the

FDT standard, they are officially named as an FDT supported network “Annex.”
You can tell if your network is officially supported by looking for the presence of the FDT logo.
Within an FDT/FRAME application there can be several different DTMs. The FDT/FRAME application is designed to administer entire device instances and save their data without the need to possess device-specific knowledge. This guarantees enterprise-wide, uniform life-cycle management, and supports multi-workstation and single workstation environments. This diagram illustrates the concept of how the DTM components fit within the Frame Application:
Device Type Managers
A Device Type Manager™ (FDT/DTM™) is a software component for an intelligent device or communication component within a digital network. It contains all of the parameters, functions, user interfaces, and other items that represent the devices features. The user interface to the DTM is supplied by the manufacturer.
All DTMs require an FDT/FRAME system to run.
A collection of DTMs from different manufacturers, different devices, and that use different communications can be managed from within one FDT/FRAME application.
DTMs and FRAME applications
Chapter 1 Getting started
10 Rockwell Automation Publication RADTM-GR001A-EN-E
This diagram illustrates the components of the DTM:
Here are the various types of DTMs that you might be working with:
• Manufacturer-specific. These DTMs are supplied by the manufacturer of your devices, such as the ones provided by Rockwell Automation described in this guide. These DTMs have the widest range of functionality and software support. Manufacturers can expand the features they provide in their DTMs by adding customer requested features, such as extended configuration options, additional diagnostic capabilities, enhanced networking capabilities, or additional monitoring. Make sure to review the release notes provided with the DTM for an overview of its capabilities.
• Interpreter. These DTMs are not uniquely programmed for a specific device. Instead they interpret other types of device representations, such as Device Descriptions (DDs), Electronic Device Descriptions (EDDs) Field Device Integration (FDI) Device Packages, and IO Device Descriptions (IODDs) that are supplied for the device into parameterized objects the FDT/FRAME application can configure.
• Generic (Universal). A generic DTM is built to universally represent all device parameters that are compliant with a specific protocol. For example, a generic HART DTM includes the parameters that are defined under the "Universal and Common Practice Commands" portion of the HART protocol standard.
• Communication (CommDTM). A CommDTM is the first DTM to be activation upon communication setup in an FDT/FRAME system. It standardizes the communication channel to the corresponding communication operations of the mapped network protocol. This DTM acts as the standardized device driver for one or multiple protocols.
• Gateway. These DTMs allow communication to transition between the communications paths of different protocols in the FDT architecture. Gateway DTMs act as a link between the CommDTM and the device DTMs. They allow information being communicated to move bi-laterally (both downstream and upstream) in the system.
Chapter 1 Getting started
Rockwell Automation Publication RADTM-GR001A-EN-E 11
Together, an FDT/FRAME and a DTM or a collection of DTMs create an FDT-enabled application, which can be scaled from a single device to tens of thousands of devices controlled by a single FRAME throughout the automation system.
For optimal performance of the FactoryTalk Linx CommDTM application install the application on a computer that meets or exceeds these hardware and software requirements.
Installing FactoryTalk Linx CommDTM on a computer that meets the operating system minimum requirements may not meet performance expectations when used in a production system.
For the latest compatibility information, refer to the the Release Notes posted with the DTM software at the Rockwell Automation Product Compatibility and Download Center.
