IEC 62453-2:2009

Field device tool (FDT) interface specification - Part 2: Concepts and detailed description

IEC 62453-2:2009 explains the common principles of the field device tool concept. These principles can be used in various industrial applications such as engineering systems, configuration programs and monitoring and diagnostic applications. It specifies the general objects, general object behavior and general object interactions that provide the base of FDT. This bilingual version (2014-04) corresponds to the monolingual English version, published in 2009-06.

Spécification des interfaces des outils de dispositifs de terain (FDT) - Partie 2: Concepts et description détaillée

L'IEC 62453-2:2009 explique les principes courants du concept de l'outil des dispositifs de terrain. Ces principes peuvent être utilisés dans diverses applications industrielles telles que les systèmes d'ingénierie, les programmes de configuration et les applications de surveillance et de diagnostic. La présente norme spécifie les objets généraux, leur comportement ainsi que les interactions entre eux qui fournit la base du FDT. La présente version bilingue (2014-04) correspond à la version anglaise monolingue publiée en 2009-06.
