DTMs can be started in Communication disabled mode to configure field device
objects offline or, if changes are to be made directly in the device, in online mode by
changing the mode to Communication enabled.
Depending on the mode, the DTM will appear with various functional windows.
The various modes are selected via the Fieldbus Management aspect of the relevant
device object.
Two possibilities are available on the device type object to open a DTM:
•Via Device Management aspect in the aspect window.
•Via Device Functions... context menu in Control Structure of Plant Explorer.
Open DTM via Device Management Aspect
1. Open Plant Explorers Control Structure.
2. Open the project sub-structure and select the field device type object.
3. Select the Device Management aspect in the aspect window.
4. The DTM appears either in Plant Explorers preview window or in its own
window, depending if the DTM supports 800xA preview window functionality.
Communication enabled mode starts all DTMs required for the communication
sequence. Individual DTMs in this connection sequence can then not switch to
Communication disabled mode without affecting other DTMs started in this
sequence.
Double-click on an aspect in the aspect window, to additionally open new
windows.
