3.2. Definitions of terms for PACTware / FDT / DTM
PACTware (Process Automation Configuration Tool):
Manufacturer- and field bus-independent software for start-up, operation, and maintenance of all types of field
devices. This general product series includes the DTMs (Device Type Managers) of the corresponding field device
manufacturers. They are integrated according to interface specification FDT 1.20.
Therefore a DTM belonging to the relevant device type is always required to operate a field device.
FDT (Field Device Tool):
Standardized interface description; defines data exchange between the various DTMs and the frame application,
for example PACTware.
DTM (Device Type Manager):
The DTM is the actual control module of actuators, sensors, and field components. It includes all specific data and
functions of a specific device type and returns all elements and dialogs needed for operation.
8
A DTM is only capable of running within a frame program such as PACTware.

6.1. Starting PACTware
→ Start PACTware from the Windows start menu.
6.2. Creating a project
6.2.1. General description
AS a precondition for operating field devices, the device network must be represented in a PACTware project.
PACTware provides an area for this purpose where all installed DTMs are shown: The Device Catalog. Normally
the DTMs have the same name as the devices to facilitate control.
PACTware also provides a second area where the device network is represented: The Project Window. The
actual device network is represented in this project window by inserting DTMs from the device catalog. The
"HOST-PC" entry serves as the starting point for inserting a DTM. The required DTMs can be transferred from the
device catalog into the project window by double clicking or using drag and drop.
If you do not want the project window or device catalog to be visible, they can be activated in the menu
bar under "View".
If the Bürkert device DTMs are not visible in the device catalog, the device catalog must first be updated.
To update the device catalog:
→ Switch to the "Device catalog" window with "View / Device catalog" (F3)
→ Click
→ Confirm the question "Create new PACTware device catalog?" with
Update device catalog
Yes
→ After the device catalog is opened again, the Bürkert device DTMs are present; see “Figure 12: Device

6.4.2. Write parameters to the device
NOTE!
If changes are made and transferred with the "Write all parameters to device" function, it is possible that
parameters in the device will be unintentionally overwritten!
• Read the current device data before you make the changes or
• transfer only the modified parameters by using the selection options "Write directory only" or "Write directory
and subdirectories only".
Procedure:
→ Connect
→ Write parameters to device
with option to select: Write all parameters to device
Write directory only
Write directory and subdirectories only
If the parameters are transferred using the PACTware "Device / Store to device" menu item or using the
PACTware
icon, all (!) parameters will be written to the device.
More extensive explanations describing operation and how to create a project are available in the PACTware
online help. For start-up and parameterization, refer also to the operating instructions for the relevant device.
6.5. Parameterization
A distinction is made in parameterization between offline and online mode.
Offline mode
In Offline mode the project can be created and parameters can be changed and saved without devices connected. Then the data can be saved later to connected devices in Online mode
Online mode
In Online mode the device to be parameterized must be connected and ready for operation. Selecting the corresponding DTM by right clicking and selecting the "Connect" command or with PACTware menu "Device /
Connect" causes Online mode to be prepared. Then parameters can be read directly from the device or trans-

8) Note regarding read / write device data:
The device DTM is a universally valid DTM containing all parameters for all device variants. A check therefore
determines before the data transfer from DTM which device variant is connected and deactivates the
parameters/ menu items of variants not present in the DTM.
