Overview
IEC TR 62453-51-10:2017 - Field device tool (FDT) interface specification - Part 51-10: Communication implementation for common object model – IEC 61784 CPF 1 is a Technical Report that provides protocol-specific guidance for integrating the FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus (FF) protocol into the COM-based implementation of the FDT Specification (see IEC TR 62453-41). It describes communication definitions, protocol extensions and how blocks (transducer, resource or function blocks) are represented for FDT/DTM based engineering systems. This edition updates methods for accessing instance and device data and revises the XML schemas.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Communication definitions and protocol-specific extensions for FF (H1 and HSE).
- Block representation: guidance on mapping FF transducer, resource and function blocks into the FDT common object model.
- Access to instance and device data: updated methods and access patterns (see Clause 5).
- XML schema updates: revised protocol-specific data type and schema definitions (Clauses 7–11) including communication, network management and device identification schemas.
- Network and communication data types: H1/HSE management and communication schemas, FMS communication, standard block communication and channel parameter definitions.
- Device identification & topology scan: data types and schemas for device type identification, scan for devices/blocks and XSLT transformations to support engineering tools.
- Compatibility and scope: protocol-specific definitions are aligned with FF specifications and intended to be used with IEC 62453-301 and IEC TR 62453-41. This document replaces IEC TR 62453-501 (2009).
Practical applications and who uses it
This Technical Report is targeted at professionals involved in automation and process control system integration:
- DTM developers and device vendors implementing FDT components for FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices.
- System integrators and control system engineers who need consistent, interoperable interfaces between engineering tools and field devices.
- Automation suppliers and OEMs building asset management, engineering and configuration tools that support FF H1/HSE networks.
- Software architects mapping FF protocol elements into the FDT common object model and maintaining XML schemas used for device configuration and discovery.
Benefits include streamlined integration of FF devices into heterogeneous control systems, standardized access to device/block data, and improved interoperability across multi-vendor environments.

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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a
technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected
data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for
example "state of the art".
IEC TR 62453-51-10, which is a technical report, has been prepared by subcommittee 65E:
Devices and integration in enterprise systems, of IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-
process measurement, control and automation.
This document cancels and replaces IEC TR 62453-501 published in 2009. This edition
constitutes a technical revision. The main changes are updates of the methods to access
instance and device data (see Clause 5) and updates of the XML schemas (see Clauses 7 to
11).

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 62453 is an interface specification for developers of Field Device Tool (FDT)
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 fieldbuses 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 Device Type Manager (DTM), 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 fieldbuses and thus meets the requirements for integrating different kinds of
devices into heterogeneous control systems.
Figure 1 shows how this part of the IEC 62453-51-xy series is aligned in the structure of the
IEC 62453 series.

1 Scope
This part of the IEC 62453-51, which is a Technical Report, provides additional information for
™
integrating the FOUNDATION Fieldbus (FF) protocol into the COM-based implementation of
the FDT Specification (IEC TR 62453-41).
This document describes communication definitions, protocol specific extensions and the
means for block (e.g. transducer, resource or function blocks) representation.
The protocol specific definitions are based on FF-Specifications for H1 and HSE protocols.
Furthermore, the definitions contain information that is needed by systems to configure FF
devices.
The scope is limited to Foundation Fieldbus device and system-specific definitions.
This part of IEC 62453 specifies implementation of communication and other services based
on IEC 62453-301.
This document neither contains the FDT specification nor modifies it.
