This manual applies to the Device Type Manager (DTM) for both the 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.

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.

The DTM can be run from within a distributed control system (DCS), or from a stand-alone
lar. 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.
4.2.
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.

5.1.1. Introduction
This is the main option for viewing both segment and device characteristics collected by the
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.
5.1.2. 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:

The "TimeInterval" parameter value here is in milliseconds. A value of 10000 for example
means 10,000 milliseconds, which is 10 seconds.
5.1.3. 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 5.3.

3. Print: Print all parameters as HTML format according to FDT standard. See
section 9.
4. Hex/Dec: Click to toggle the displayed address values between hexadecimal (HEX)
or decimal (DEC) format.
5. Help: Online help.
(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:

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:
oApply - 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.
oApply & Close - Same as "Apply" button, then closes the user interface.
oCancel - Discards any change made by the user and closes the user interface.
oNext - Selects the next node at the same level in the navigation tree.

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.
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 6 (system node), 7 (segment
node) and 8 (device node).
5.2.
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 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.

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.

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.

As described in section 5.1.7, 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.
