The PlantStruxure architectureproposes capabilities to fully integrate intelligent field devices data and services into processcontrol systems, or process and power control systems. The end user can get full benefit of theintelligence provided by these devices. It also makes the lifecycle management of field deviceseasier, from the initial system engineering to the system commissioning, maintenance andrenewal.PlantStruxure architecture follows the corporate policy by using the FDT (Field Device Tool) andDTM (Device Tool Manager) technology for device management and integration.The tables below show the different ranges of motor control and power devices and their testedcommunication interfaces. They also indicate if a library is available with the PlantStruxuresoftware offer (Unity Pro and Vijeo Citect) and if a DTM is already tested and documented forUnity Pro. Additional DTMs are planned for 2013: DDTM stands for Specific Device DTM andGDTM stand for Generic Device DTM.Starter Modbus serial line CANopen Modbus TCPComComTeSys-ULib DDTM Lib GDTMCom Com ComTeSys-TLib DDTM Lib GDTM Lib DDTMTable 8: Starters and communication interfacesSoft starter Modbus serial line CANopen Modbus TCPATS22ComLibATS48ComLib DTMTable 9: Soft starters and communication interfaces© 2012 Schneider Electric All Rights Reserved41
