IEC TS 62453-43:2024

Field device tool (FDT) interface specification – Part 43: Object model integration profile – CLI and HTML

IEC TS 62453-43:2024 specifies how the common FDT principles are implemented based on the CLI technology and web technologies for graphical user interfaces. The specification includes the object behaviour and object interaction via. NET Standard interfaces and JavaScript APIs. Emphasis has been placed on support of distributed Frame Application architectures.
This document specifies FDT version 3.0.
