PACTware is a manufacturer and fieldbus-independent software for operating field instruments. Up to now it was often necessary to use several different manufacturer-specific programs to operate different field instruments to the full extent.
PACTware uses a standardised interface between the frame program PACTware and the individual software modules for instrument operation. This interface is known as FDT; the software modules for instrument adjustment are called DTMs. This configuration makes modern and user-friendly adjustment concepts possible because the interface for instrument adjustment is optimally adapted to each instrument.
Furthermore, you can communicate with PACTware not only via HART but also via any standard field bus system. To this end, different so-called “communication DTMs” are available. In PACTware, these instrument and communication DTMs are assembled individually according to the given requirements.
Thanks so much, it is really helpful.
Very poor design, many confused message pop-ups and clumsy setup procedure comparing with other software from Siemens or ABB.
I disagree. PACTware is very simple compared to Siemens pdm.
