What is PD CLC/TR IEC 62453-41 - Object model integration profile about?
PD CLC/TR IEC 62453-41 is a part of IEC 62453, which is a technical report, that defines how the common Field Device Tool (FDT) principles are implemented based on the Microsoft1 COM technology, including the object behavior and object interaction via COM interfaces.
PD CLC/TR IEC 62453-41 provides you with guidelines for FDT which is a high-level statement that includes the information needed to define the user groups who will be the focus of the usability engineering process and the use environment in which the device will be utilized. PD CLC/TR IEC 62453-41 specifies the technology-specific implementation of the protocol-specific functionality and communication services. PD CLC/TR IEC 62453-41 is informative, however, when this part is applied its requirements need to be implemented as specified.
Note: PD CLC/TR IEC 62453-41 specifies FDT version 1.2.1.
Who is PD CLC/TR IEC 62453-41 - Object model integration profile for?
PD CLC/TR IEC 62453-41 on Object model integration profile is useful for:
- The IT industry
- Software programmers
- FDT developers
- Client-server producers
- Networking sectors
Why should you use PD CLC/TR IEC 62453-41 - Object model integration profile?
PD CLC/TR IEC 62453-41 is a part of IEC 62453, which is a technical report, is an interface specification for developers of FDT components for function control and data access within a client/server architecture. PD CLC/TR IEC 62453-41 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 that 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 are defined in this specification. The approach to integration is, in general, open for all kinds of fieldbuses and thus meets the requirements for integrating different kinds of devices into heterogeneous control systems. Using these guidelines, you enable your end customers to improve their work efficiency.
What’s changed since the last update?
PD CLC/TR IEC 62453-41:2019 is the UK implementation of CLC/TR IEC 62453-41:2019 and is identical to IEC TR 62453-41:2016. PD CLC/TR IEC 62453-41:2019 supersedes PD CLC/TR 62453-41:2009, which is withdrawn. The technical changes as compared to the previous edition published in 2009 are:
- Correction of specification for bus master configuration
- Correction of specification for the propagation of changes
- Correction of the description of DTM services for online operation
