FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 62453 is an interface specification for developers of FDT (Field Device Tool)
components for function control and data access within a client/server architecture. The
specification is a result of an analysis and design process to develop standard interfaces to
facilitate the development of servers and clients by multiple vendors that need to interoperate
seamlessly.
With the integration of fieldbusses into control systems, there are a few other tasks which
need to be performed. In addition to fieldbus- and device-specific tools, there is a need to
integrate these tools into higher-level system-wide planning- or engineering tools. In
particular, for use in extensive and heterogeneous control systems, typically in the area of the
process industry, the unambiguous definition of engineering interfaces that are easy to use for
all those involved is of great importance.
A device-specific software component, called DTM (Device Type Manager), is supplied by the
field device manufacturer with its device. The DTM is integrated into engineering tools via the
FDT interfaces defined in this specification. The approach to integration is in general open for
all kind of fieldbusses and thus meets the requirements for integrating different kinds of
devices into heterogeneous control systems.
Figure 1 shows how IEC 62453-309 is aligned in the structure of the IEC 62453 series.

1 Scope
1
Communication Profile Family 9 (commonly known as HART® ) defines communication
profiles based on IEC 61158-5-20 and IEC 61158-6-20. The basic profile CP 9/1 is defined in
IEC 61784-1.
This part of IEC 62453 provides information for integrating the HART® technology into the
FDT standard (IEC 62453-2).
This part of the IEC 62453 specifies communication and other services.
This standard neither contains the FDT specification nor modifies it.
2 Normative references

5 Access to instance and device data
5.1 Process Channel objects provided by DTM
The minimum set of provided data shall be:
• the first four provided process related values (PV, SV, …) - if available - are modeled as
channel references. The referenced channel shall include ranges and scaling.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
62453-309  IEC:2009 – 9 –
5.2 DTM services to access instance and device data
The services InstanceDataInformation and DeviceDataInformation shall provide access to at
least to all parameters of the Universal and Common Practice commands (as far as the device
supports the function).
Furthermore, the Response Byte 0 and the Response Byte 1 for each command shall be
exposed.
The services InstanceDataInformation and DeviceDataInformation may also provide access to
device specific parameters (e.g. diagnostic information).
6 Protocol specific behavior
6.1 Overview
There is only one protocol specific sequence defined for IEC 61784 CPF 9:
• burst mode subscription.
This sequence explains how the sequence “”, defined in Part 2 of this standard, is applied in
context of burst telegrams as defined by IEC 61784 CPF 9.
6.2 Burst mode subscription
A subscription to device initiated data transfer can be requested by sending a transaction
request with SubscribeRequest content (see Figure 2). The Communication Channel may
detect if the device is already in burst mode.
NOTE In HART 5 this can be detected only when burst frames are received from the device. In HART 6 the burst
mode can be detected using command 105.
The Communication Channel answers to a SubscribeRequest with a SubscribeResponse
content. If burst frames are received, the device is in burst mode and burstModeDetected
value is set to TRUE. This means that Device DTM will start to receive burst messages via the
transaction response mechanism. In the case that no burst messages were received,
burstModeDetected value is set to FALSE. It is up to Device DTM to set device into burst
mode. Then Device DTM may call a transaction request with SubscribeRequest content again
in order to receive burst messages.
In order to unsubscribe, the Device DTM sends a transaction request with a
UnsubcribeRequest. The Communication Channel answers with a SubscribeResponse where
burstModeDetected value is set to FALSE. The Device DTM will not receive any more burst
information via the transaction response mechanism. The Communication Channel does not
switch off the burst mode in the device. The Device DTM may switch burst mode on or off by
using normal transaction requests (command 109). This is independent of the subscription.

7 Protocol specific usage of general data types
The following table (Table 2) shows how general data types, defined in IEC 62453-2 within
the namespace ‘fdt’, are used with HART devices.
Table 2 – Protocol specific usage of general data types
Data type Description for use
fdt:address The address property is not mandatory for the exposed parameters in the DTMs.
But if the address property is used the string shall be constructed according to
the rules of the semanticId. That means the property ‘semanticId’ is always the
same as the property ‘address’
fdt:protocolId See Clause 4
fdt:deviceTypeId The property "fdt:DtmDeviceType.deviceTypeId" shall contain the DeviceTypeID
of the supported physical device according to the HCF online product catalog
fdt:manufacturerId Enter manufacturer according HCF list
fdt:semanticId The applicationDomain attribute is: FDT_HART
fdt:applicationDomain
The sematicId for protocol related parameter is directly related to the protocol
specification. The definition of the commands is the base for the semanticId. The
semanticId for a parameter follows the following definition:
CMDxxBy
and
CMD31EXTENDEDxxBy
for extended HART 6 device family commands.

The semanticIds for the Response Byte 0 and 1 defined in the IEC 61784 CPF 9
specification are:
CMDxxRESPONSE_BYTE_0
CMDxxRESPONSE_BYTE_1
