IEC 62453-1:2009

provides information for integrating the HART protocol into the FDT interface specification (IEC 62453-1). This PAS neither contains the FDT specification nor modifies it.

provides information for integrating the FOUNDATION FIELDBUS (FF) protocol into the FDT interface specification (IEC 62453-1). describes communication schemas, protocol-specific extensions and the means for block (e.g. transducer, resource or function blocks) representation.

provides information for integrating the PROFIBUS protocol into the FDT interface specification (IEC 62453-1). This PAS neither contains the FDT specification nor modifies it.

includes the engineering and commissioning of field devices. Functionality for documentation and audit trail support is also considered. Examples and use cases are mainly given for actors, sensors and remote I/Os. Of course, FDT is prepared to be used for devices like drives, analyzers, recorders, etc. as well. The FDT interfaces are designed in such a way as to support all significant fieldbus protocols. The main focus of this version of FDT does not lie on any specific fieldbus protocol. Due to the scalable structure of FDT it will be easy to add new schemas in order to extend the scope to new protocols.

IEC 62453-1:2016 presents an overview and guidance for the IEC 62453 series. It - explains the structure and content of the IEC 62453 series (see Clause 5); - provides explanations of some aspects of the IEC 62453 series that are common to many of the parts of the series; - describes the relationship to some other standards. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: introduction of a new implementation technology (defined in IEC 62453-42).
