ANALYSIS AND MODELING OF FIELD DEVICE TOOL INTERFACES

摘要

Field Device Tool (FDT) Interfaces are designed to integrate field devices into engineering systems. The structure of the FDT includes a frame-application, Device Type Managers (DTMs) provided by the device manufacturers, and interfaces between them. From the view a point of DTM, this paper mainly validates a model of a DTM formulated in UML, as well as the physical and logical connections between a frame-application and a field device. Three test cases described in UML sequence diagrams are generated.
