INM F809F-Plus (DTM) Rev 1.8 1
1 OVERVIEW
This manual applies to the Device Type Manager (DTM) for MTL F809F and MTL
F809F-Plus diagnostic module. The DTM provides three key functions plus standard
supporting facilities, such as printing of relevant information. The main functions of
the F809F DTM and F809F-Plus DTM are Diagnosis, Compare, and Export.
The structure of this document follows the user workflow, from starting the DTM via
accessing the diagnostic data to configuring the segments.
Individual help on a particular screen can also be found within the DTM help file.
2 INSTALLATION
Locate and download the DTM setup program from our website:
http://www.mtl-inst.com/product/f809f_fieldbus_diagnostics_module/
The DTM runs under Windows. Linux or Mac OS X are not supported.
Extract the .zip file and run the contained *setup.exe file.
The DTM will be installed. Note that there will not be any shortcut to the DTM in the
start menu. The only accessible option in the start menu is to uninstall the DTM.
DTMs are run from within the Field Device Tool (FDT). If the newly installed DTM does
not automatically appear in your device catalogue of your FDT tool, your FDT device
catalogue may require to be refreshed. Check with your FDT vendor on how to refresh
the device catalogue.

3 RUNNING THE DTM
3.1 Initiating the DTM on a DCS or in a FDT frame application
The DTM can be run from within a distributed control system (DCS), or from a stand-
alone Field Device Tool (FDT) frame application. Such tools may be named ‘Field
Device Manager’, ‘FDT frame’, ‘Asset Management System’ or similar. Consult your
DCS vendor on how to employ the FDT frame application and consequently run the
DTM, respectively how to execute DTMs from within the DCS engineering station.
3.2 Automatic uploading
When the DTM is brought from offline to online, it performs an automatic upload.
This is different from manual uploading, because it updates the device data set
(i.e. the parameter values in the diagnostic module) and instance data set with the
diagnostic module’s data, but keep unchanged the working data set (the parameter
values that the user is currently working with).
Note: Manual uploading will synchronize both the instance data set and the working
data set from the F809F device data set. If a “downloading” job is in progress then
both manual and automatic uploading commands will be ignored.
3.3 Navigating the F809F diagnostic module
The Navigation Area consists of two tabbed pages called “Diagnosis” and
“Configure/Setup”, each with a tree view and an application area.
Tree view and the application area will display information appropriate to the tab
chosen.
The tree view allows navigating through the individual blocks of the respective
‘root node’ F809F module.

INM F809F-Plus (DTM) Rev 1.8 3
You may find the following blocks under the root node:
• Resource block (only accessible in the Configure/Setup tab)
This block allows access to the F809F device block mode (Auto/OOS), as well
as product-specific information (e.g. F809F device revision identifiers).
• SystemTransducer Block (SystemTB)
This block provides access to:
• the redundant power feed;
• which segments are monitored;
• whether alarms are latched and need acknowledgement;
• several ‘wizards’ (see section 5.4.3).
• Segment transducer blocks for segments 1...8
This block contains segment-related data such as segment voltage and
noise levels.
• Devices on the respective segment
The individual devices will show signal amplitude and retransmissions.
Click on the respective item in the tree view to access data in the application area
relevant to the selected item.

4 MAIN FUNCTIONS OF DTM
4.1 Diagnosis
4.1.1 Introduction
This is the main option for viewing both segment and device characteristics collected
by the Eaton’s MTL F809F diagnostic module. Choose the data you want displayed
by clicking on a specific node in the Navigation Area on the left of the screen.
4.1.2 Online / offline view
View data in Online or Offline mode. In online mode, it will repeatedly refresh the
parameters displayed on the current page to present current values, the status of any
alerts and limitations. In offline mode, it just shows the parameter values, alert status
and limits last stored in DTM locally.
You may select online and offline mode from the DTM menu.
The refresh rate for the online mode can be configured in an XML file stored on the
system. It can be found inside the installed application folder at the following location
“...\XML\DtmSettings.xml”;. Search within this file for the “TimeInterval” parameter:
<addkey=”CyclicParameterReading” TimeInterval=”10000” />
The “TimeInterval” parameter value here is in milliseconds. A value of 10000 for
example means 10,000 milliseconds, which is 10 seconds.

INM F809F-Plus (DTM) Rev 1.8 5
4.1.3 Screen areas
The key areas of the Diagnosis screen are identified by numbers here.
(1) Identification Area
Shows details about the F809F module.
(2)Toolbar Area
The Toolbar has five buttons with the following functions:
1. Compare: Compare the F809F device values with the values exported earlier.
See section 4.3.
2. Export : Export the F809F device values to an XML file. See section 4.4.
3. Print: Print all parameters as HTML format according to FDT standard.
See section 8.
4. Hex/Dec: Click to toggle the displayed address values between hexadecimal
(HEX) or decimal (DEC) format.
5. Help: Online help.

INM F809F-Plus (DTM) Rev 1.8

(3) Navigation area
Navigate through the various blocks of your F809F diagnostic modules. Choose
the data you want displayed by clicking on a specific node. Navigate through the
hierarchy by clicking onto the small white arrow ( ) to expand or the small black
arrow ( ) to collapse the hierarchy.
The Navigation Area shows an overview about the current status of the
segments. The Navigation Area propagates faults from lower layers up, meaning
that a device fault will propagate to a segment fault, and a segment fault to a
F809F module fault. A fault in a lower layer can consequently always be
identified, even if lower layers are currently collapsed. In such case, click onto
the small white arrow ( ) to expand the hierarchy until you can identify the root
cause item.
The following screenshots shows an example of how a device fault is seen at
different hierarchy layers:
(4) Application area
After selecting a certain tab / tree node combination in the Navigation area, the
corresponding parameters will be displayed in the area to the right known as the
Application Area.
(5) Action area
Towards the bottom of the page is the Action Area, which has several buttons
with the following functions:
• Apply- Apply the changes made by the user. In online mode, DTM will
write any modified parameters into the F809F module. In offline mode,
DTM will only cache the modified parameters.
• Apply & Close- Same as “Apply” button, then closes the user interface.
• Cancel- Discards any change made by the user and closes the
user interface.
• Next- Selects the next node at the same level in the navigation tree.
• Back- Selects the previous node at the same level in the navigation tree.
• Go to Device- Selects the first device node under the current segment.
This is applicable only when any segment node or device node is selected.
• Go to Segment- Selects the parent segment node of a device. This is
applicable only when any segment node or device node is selected.
• Help- Opens online help file.

INM F809F-Plus (DTM) Rev 1.8 7
(6) Status area
At the bottom of the window is the Status Bar which displays various DTM
system messages and icons.
1. Connected / Disconnected
Indicates whether the connection to the F809F module is established
(“Connected”) or not (“Disconnected”) .
2. Communication active
The green circle indicates that communication between F809F module and DTM
software is ongoing.
3. Data set / Device
Indicates whether the screen shows offline data (Data set) or online data from
the F809F module (“Device”).
4. Pencil symbol (Data set is valid modified)
A parameter value was modified, but is not downloaded into the F809F module,
You may now download the parameter set to the F809F module, To download,
click “Apply” or “Apply & Close”. See also “(5) Action Area” above.
4.1.4 Icons
The icons displayed in the navigation tree area and/or the application area follow the
NAMUR NE107 specification “Self-Monitoring and Diagnosis of Field Devices”.
The following table shows the symbols as they are used in the F809F module.
Description in NE107 Symbol used in F809F Status meaning in F809F
Maintenance required PreAlert active
(low alarm or high alarm)
Out of specification Alert active
(low-low alarm or high-high alarm)
Diagnosis active Status ok
(no alarms active)
Monitored segments are indicated with a tick mark, non-monitored are without tick
mark:
In this example, segments 5 to 8 are
not monitored. The symbol of the
non-monitored segments will show
the last status, or will be reset to the
green symbol “Status ok” if option
“Set Non-scanning Segment Values
Null” is ticked for the respective
segment. See section 5.4.2.

INM F809F-Plus (DTM) Rev 1.8

4.1.5 Symbols used in the DTM
?A black question mark besides the parameter name indicates that the
parameter value is out-of-date.
Out of date means that the value is not updated yet; simply wait until the
question mark disappears which means that the value is updated.
The pencil symbol besides the parameter name indicates that the parameter
value was modified, or that it is a value from the DTM data set stored on
your hard disk which may be different from the values stored inside the
F809F module.
Please also refer to “(6) Status Area” in section 4.1.3.

INM F809F-Plus (DTM) Rev 1.8 9
4.1.6 The diagnosis tab
This is a general description of the diagnosis tab. For diagnostics of a specific node
type, see sections 5 (system node), 6 (segment node) and 7 (device node).
In the Navigation Area, select the ‘diagnosis’ tab to display diagnosis values together
with a corresponding status icon.
This tab will not allow you to make any changes to the limit values. If you intend to
make any changes to the limit values, select the ‘Configure/Setup’ tab instead.

INM F809F-Plus (DTM) Rev 1.8
10
4.1.7 The Configure/Setup tab
In the Navigation Area, select the ‘Configure/Setup’ tab to not only display diagnosis
values, but also adds the capability to modify the corresponding limit values (low-low-
alert, low-alert, high-alert and high-high-alert). Note that noise levels only have upper
limits, as only high noise represents a problem. The lower the noise, the better.
This tab will also enable you to run ‘wizards’ (or ‘DD methods’).
If you do not intend to make any changes to the limit values or run any wizards,
select the ‘Diagnosis’ tab instead.
For details on configuration of a specific node type, see sections 5 (system node), 6
(segment node) and 7 (device node).
You may configure segments and devices manually, via DCS templates, or by using
wizards (also called methods).
• Manually
A procedure where the user enters parameters by hand, individually for each
segment and device.
Advantage:
The limit values can be set to best match the actual values of this particular
segment and device. As segments all differ in length, number of devices, and
environmental impact, a manual procedure will allow the user to set limits as
close as possible to the actual values and make most use of predictive alarming.
Disadvantage:
The values in the device will differ from the values in the DCS engineering
station, unless an upload from the device into the engineering station is
performed. Otherwise, a later download from the engineering station would
overwrite the values in the device.

INM F809F-Plus (DTM) Rev 1.8 11
• DCS template
Instead of modifying values in the DTM, the user performs modifications only
in the DCS engineering station (through the DD). This is the typically
employed procedure.
Advantage:
A single database is maintained.
Disadvantage:
Even though segments are not alike, they will all have the same set of limits.
Consequently, the limits will have to leave a larger margin compared to adjusting
the limits for each segment individually.
• Using wizards/methods
This is the most convenient way to configure limit values for each
segment individually.
An automated internal software procedure will run and adjust the limits to a user
selectable percentage.
Advantage:
The limit values can be set to best match the actual values of this particular
segment and device. As segments all differ in length, number of devices,
and environmental impact, this procedure will allow the user to set limits as
close as possible to the actual values and make most use of predictive alarming.
Compared to the manual procedure, running wizards is more convenient
and faster.
Disadvantage:
The values in the device will differ from the values in the DCS engineering
station, unless an upload from the device into the engineering station is
performed. Otherwise, a later download from the engineering station would
overwrite the values in the device.
Also, the values may differ between one run and the next, as they depend on the
status quo of the segment.
Note that for the alarm optimization wizards to complete successfully, the low-low-
limits and high-high-limits should ideally be set to their defaults prior to running the
wizard.
For details on configuration of a specific node type, see sections 5 (system node), 6
(segment node) and 7 (device node).

INM F809F-Plus (DTM) Rev 1.8

4.2 Upload/Download
When the DTM is brought from offline to online, it performs an automatic upload.
This is different from manual uploading, because it updates the device data set (i.e.
the parameter values in the F809F module) and instance data set with the F809F
module’s data, but keeps unchanged the working data set (the parameter values that
the user is currently working with).
Note: Manual uploading will synchronize both the instance data set and the working
data set from the F809F device data set. If a “downloading” job is in progress then
both manual and automatic uploading commands will be ignored.
A download will download the working data set into the F809F module.
4.3 Compare
This allows the user to compare the current commissioned values with earlier stored
data, for example, from an Export command (see below). This user interface can be
opened either by the DTM function “Compare Parameters” from DTM’s menu, or by
clicking on the “Compare” button in the Diagnosis screen.
Tip: Perform a manual upload before comparing to ensure you have the latest
values from the F809F module.
Note that different FDT frames and DCS field device tools may somewhat vary in
their implementation of this function. Consult the manual of the FDT frame or DCS
field device tool if your system deviates from above description.
4.4 Export
The DTM allows a user to export actual and alert limit values. This user interface can
be opened either by the DTM function “Export Parameters” from DTM’s context
menu, or by clicking the “Export” toolbar button on the online Diagnosis view.
Tip: Perform a manual upload before comparing to ensure you have the latest values
from the F809F module.

5 ‘SYSTEM’ DIAGNOSTICS AND CONFIGURATION
5.1 Introduction
‘System’ refers to the Fieldbus power supply carrier and the associated F809F-
Plus module. Configuration of segments and field devices is described in sections
6 and 7 of this manual. Screen layout and general information on diagnostics and
configuration are described in section 4.1. This section will describe the specific
parameters of the system transducer block and its configuration.
5.2 Diagnostics for the system transducer block node
Select the system transducer block node in the navigation area, and click on the
‘diagnosis’ tab.
Diagnosed parameters associated to the system:
• Power feed A voltage and power feed B voltage refer to the bulk power
supplies connected to the fieldbus power supply carrier.
• The ‘Module Temperature’ is measured inside the F809F-Plus module. Due
to the physical proximity to the fieldbus power supply modules, it can be
assumed that the F809F-Plus module measures the approximate temperature
of the fieldbus power supply modules.
• Latching Alarm Acknowledge / Alarm Acknowledge required
Setting alarms to latch (see ‘Set Alarms to Latch’ below) means that if an alarm
occurs, the alarm message will persist until ‘Latching Alarm Acknowledge‘
button is clicked, even if the actual problem(s) disappeared. Multiple alarm
may occur, which then all will persist simultaneously. This way, intermittent
alarms will not be missed. Once an alarm occurred, ‘Alarm Acknowledge’ will
be ticked to indicate that acknowledgement is required. If the actual problem(s)
disappeared, the alarm will only be cleared after ‘Latching Alarm Acknowledge’
is clicked.

INM F809F-Plus (DTM) Rev 1.8

5.3 Appearance of alarms and remedy
The Navigation area will indicate the status condition with the NAMUR symbols
explained in section 4.1.4.
No Pre-alert or alert Pre-alert condition: Alert condition
Example of a Pre-alert condition:
The following conditions can occur on the system block node:
Parameter Symbol / Alert Remedy
Power Feed A/B Voltage
Low Alert
Check bulk power supply
operation and wiring to
carrier
Low PreAlert
High PreAlert
High Alert
Module Temperature
High PreAlert Check cooling in power
supply cabinet
High Alert

5.4 Configurartion/Setup of the system transducer block node
5.4.1 Introduction
As described in section 4.1.7, you can use three methods for configuration:
• Manual
• Via DCS template
• Using Wizards/Methods
Note that not all parameters can be configured through wizards/methods. Setting
the monitored segments, non-scanning segment values to null, and alarms to latch
require manual configuration.
5.4.2 Manual or via DCS template

INM F809F-Plus (DTM) Rev 1.8
16
• The ‘Block modes’ are standard FF parameters and control the operation of the
F809F module. Note that these parameters are normally set by the DCS system.
Do not change any setting unless you are familiar with their meaning. For more
information on these parameters, consult your system vendor or the fieldbus
specification.
•Power Feed A/B voltage
Adjust the limits so that they correspond to the minimum and maximum output
voltage according to the datasheet of your bulk power supplies. Default operating
range is 19.2 V to 30 V.
Default Low-low limit: 19.2 V
Low limit: 19.2 V
High limit: 30 V
High-high limit: 30 V
Minimum value 0V
Maximum value 40V
Alarm hysteresis (no alarm alarm no alarm) 0.5V
Condition: high limit > low limit by … 1V
Note that the limit values have to be in rising sequence at all times:
Low-low-limit ≤ low-limit < high-limit ≤ high-high-limit
and high limit must be at least 1 V higher than low limit.
Note that the F809F device will round the entered values to a single digit decimal (example:
23.34V will be rounded to 23.3V, and 23.35V will be rounded to 23.4V).
The DTM does not perform the rounding, so that the entered value (e.g.
23.34V) will persistently be indicated with the pencil symbol , as the DTM
value differs from the value in the F809F device.
Best is to enter values with a single digit decimal only (e.g. 23.4V).
• Module temperature
The default values are limits for the F801 fieldbus power supply maximum
operating temperature of 65 °C. The user may reset this to the maximum
operating temperature of the power supply used or select a lower limit based on
normal operating temperature of the cabinet. Setting the limit at the lower of the
maximum operating temperature of the power supply or 10 °C above the normal
operating temperature is recommended.
Default High limit: 65 °C
High-high limit: 65 °C
Minimum value 0°C
Maximum value 32767°C (Note: module
operates up to 70 °C)
Alarm hysteresis (no alarm alarm no alarm) 1°C
• Latching Alarm Acknowledge / Alarm Acknowledge required
Setting alarms to latch (see ‘Set Alarms to Latch’ below) means that if an alarm
occurs, the alarm message will persist until ‘Latching Alarm Acknowledge‘ button
is clicked, even if the actual problem(s) disappeared. Multiple alarm may occur,
which then all will persist simultaneously. This way, intermittent alarms will not
be missed. Once an alarm occurred, ‘Alarm Acknowledge’ will be ticked to
indicate that acknowledgement is required. If the actual problem(s) disappeared,
the alarm will only be cleared after ‘Latching Alarm Acknowledge’ is clicked.
