This book describes the processes and technologies for embedding field devices, from the perspective of the various automation applications and from the perspective of the devices, and reveals the similarities. It provides a detailed explanation of the essential components and processes, such as instantiation, commissioning and channel assignment. It also details the architecture concepts of DTMs for communication connection devices and remote I/Os. An introduction to the FDT style guide describes the interface between the end user and programmer. This title is oriented equally towards corporate decision-makers, developers in industrial automation companies who provide devices and systems, and system integrators. Readers will be able to gain an appreciation for the importance of FDT technology for their products, to initiate DTM developments and to integrate FDT-based components into systems. This book is based upon Version 1.2 of the FDT specification and its addendum.
