2. Overview
This material introduces revision of FDT Frame Application and Device Files, which each revision of PRM (Plant Resource Manager) supports and corresponds.
Contents:
A, What’s FDT?
B, Revision Match of PRM and FDT Frame Application
C, Revision Matching of PRM and Device Files
As this connection, it is important to confirm below
three things:
Revision Matching of FDT Frame Application and DTM.
Revision of DTM working on each Frame Application
Revision Matching of Device Files on PRM.

3. A, What’s FDT? FDT, Field Device Tool, is the technology of connection
and configuration for field devices.
FDT works with DTM (Device Type Manager) software,
which each device vendors provides.
Yokogawa PRM is FDT as frame application.
Frame application works through DTM to communicate with each field devices via each fieldbus communication.
FDT standardizes the communication between field devices and
tools of engineering, automated plants, and applications.
Frame application enables you to access real-time process information within plants and get information through lifecycle of plants, equipments, and applications.
Frame application would be the tools of device configuration, control system-engineering, operator consoles, and asset management.
FDT standardizes the communication between field devices and tools of engineering, automated plants, and applications.

5. C, Revision Match of PRM and Device Files
You need to match the revision of PRM and Device Files.
It is required to match the revision of PRM and Device Files. This match is for the protection to avoid mismatch.
In case of revision mismatch, there is a possibility that they do not work when installing.
If you want to make use of Converted DTM (Generic DTM), it is required to raise the revision of PRM.
