Updated DTM for Pepperl+Fuchs Advanced Diagnostic Module

By Laura Carrabine | October 7, 2010

Share

TWINSBURG, OH – Pepperl+Fuchs introduces the newest version of its Advanced Diagnostic Module DTM software. Advanced Diagnostic Modules (ADM) monitor the quality of fieldbus communication for FOUNDATION fieldbus H1 and PROFIBUS PA networks, and Diagnostic Manager software includes a number of updates that dramatically speeds fieldbus commissioning and takes the guesswork out of troubleshooting for ADM users. This smart software tool translates information provided by the ADM into actionable information and can run on a server located directly in the control room, turning the complete fieldbus infrastructure into an open book that can be read even without expert knowledge.

Equipped with this information field technicians usually know what needs to be done before they arrive on site, and are no longer faced with the sometimes time-consuming task of searching for the actual cause of a problem. As a result, time spent on troubleshooting is absolutely minimized, plant shutdowns can largely be avoided and the availability of the complete system is considerably improved.

Additional updates of significance include:

• Automated tag reading – the ADM is now able to read and document tags and device IDs in combination with any FOUNDTION fieldbus host
• Improved Oscilloscope – offers more trigger events and automatically captures up to 10 shots in a row; each bit and telegram is identified with type and value, as well as source and destination address
