Overview
FieldMate is available in Basic and Advance version. This section describes the
features of Basic and Advance.
D-1
Basic
This version enables the status confirmation, setting, adjustment, and
replacement of Yokogawa's BRAIN devices, and HART, Foundation Fieldbus
H1, and PROFIBUS devices (including those of other vendors).
It can only be used when the device is directly connected via:
USB FieldMate modem (BRAIN)
NI-FBUS (Foundation Fieldbus H1)
USB HART modem/USB FieldMate modem (HART)
PROFIusb (PROFIBUS)
Communication Protocols and Communication Routes

FieldMate supports BRAIN, Foundation Fieldbus H1, PROFIBUS, and HART
communication protocols and direct connection (NI-FBUS, USB FieldMate modem,
USB HART modem, and PROFIusb) communication routes. It also handles devices
with different communication protocols or communication routes at the sametime.
Adoption of open FDT/DTM

FieldMate has the function serving as an FDT container that is in compliance with
FDT 1.2 Addendum.
Recording of Operation Logs

Operations performed using this software are saved as logs for later reference.
Device Interaction Functions

Simply connecting field devices to a physical segment allows FieldMate to
recognize them automatically and display the operation status of individual field
devices in an easy-to-understand way.
Furthermore, FieldMate can configure initial settings such as tag and address
settings. It also runs DTM to check and set field device parameters, and runs DD
Menu, DTM, and other functions to set and adjust devices.
Device Parameter Management Function

This function enables the uploading and downloading of snapshots of device
parameters, exporting and importing to/from a file, and comparison.

parameter values, device maintenance memos, etc. Furthermore, information related to
device maintenance can even be referred to and modified prior to delivery or actual
deployment of the devices. This version can handle communication protocols other than
HART, Foundation Fieldbus H1, BRAIN, and PROFIBUS devices that are not directly
connected.
Supporting comm DTM-based communication routes

Support of communication routes by comm DTM enables the addition of
communication drivers and communication protocols.
Device Maintenance Information Management Function

This function enables maintenance information (device information, document links,
device parameters, memos, etc.) for devices to be kept and managed in databases.
Up to 300 devices can be managed.
During device maintenance, for example, you can efficiently perform tasks such as
referring to documents related to the devices, managing device parameters, and
creating memos with the required files attached.

If a tag and address are modified in this Tag/Address Assignment window, the Segment
Viewer window will automatically be updated, displaying updated tags/addresses.
IMPORTANT
Notes on Modifying Tags for Foundation Fieldbus Devices
1. Specification
y When a tag is modified, the communication connection information (VCR and Link
Object) is automatically cleared. This information is defined in the Foundation
Fieldbus specification.
y When a tag is modified, the schedule information of the function block
(FB_START_ENTRY) is automatically cleared. This information is defined in the
function specification for communication cards of National Instruments.
To conclude: When a tag is set, the schedule information and communication connection
information are automatically cleared.
2. Yokogawa Device Operation
When the schedule information of the function block is cleared, the operation of AI Block
stops and the LCD display values (for example, a pressure value in the case of EJA)
cannot indicate the current state.
You need to be careful, because there is a possibility that the displayed PV value
(usually, OUT of AI Block) is different from the actual value. You can confirm the actual
value in Device Viewer.

This function changes the device class of a Foundation Fieldbus H1 device to Link
Master or Basic.
z Startup
Select Segment Viewer Select Device Action to activate Device Clear Setting.
Select either Basic or Link Master.
Clicking the Set button in the above

window causes this window to
appear.
In order to reflect the device class
setting in the device, the window
prompts you to select whether to
restart the device.

DTM Works
DTM Works is a frame application in which device DTM is able to run.
DTM (Device Type Manager) is a GUI application specifically designed for devices
that enables devices specific parameters to be set. Because it complies with the
FDT/DTM standards, it also enables the parameters to be adjusted or set in the
same window in others host systems that support DTM.
TIP
The following describes the Yokogawa device DTM. When you use the device DTM of other
manufacturer, operation and display are subject to change depending on the device manufacturers.
Refer to the instruction manual for the device DTM of the respective manufacturers.
z Startup
In Segment Viewer, select the device and start DTM Works.
Startup

Built-in Connection (BIC Mode)

This connection mode called Built-in Connection employs a built-in communication
method of FieldMate, which is available for the four communication protocols HART,
Foundation Fieldbus, PROFIBUS, and BRAIN.
For HART and BRAIN communication, you can use an optional USB FieldMate modem
by directly connecting it to the field device.
Also, for Foundation Fieldbus and PROFIBUS communication, you need to separately
purchase a NI-FBUS from National Instruments (for Foundation Fieldbus) and a
PROFIusb from Softing (for PROFIBUS), and connect them to the bus to which the field
device is connected.
Built-in Connection can be used for both Basic and Advance.

DTM has the following two device parameter setup windows:
Online Parameter window:
Used to directly display, set, or modify device internal parameters in the connected
status.
The Online Parameter window is available only in the connected status.
In addition, the Online Parameter window enables the display of dynamic data such
as process data, in addition to setting parameters.
Online Parameter function
Communicating with the connected device directly, parameters are displayed and
adjusted. Parameters are categorized in the tree view on a function basis. It
displays the respective DTM window on the tree view selection.
Offline Parameter window:
This window is used to set device parameters in the device DTM regardless of the
connection status of communication with a device. Thus, in the Offline Parameter
window, device internal parameters cannot be directly displayed, set, or modified.
Offline Parameter function
Parameters are managed without communication with the device. Device
parameters sets are loaded and saved from/to database offline.
Upload from Device:
Uploads device internal parameters to the device parameters in the device DTM.
Executing Upload from Device causes parameters displayed in the Offline
Parameter window to be replaced by device internal parameters.
Download to Device:
Downloads the device parameters in the Device DTM that have been edited in the
Offline Parameter window to device internal parameters. (Note)
(Note)
In an environment in which operation is performed regardless of connection to a device, a

device can be added before it is delivered, for example, to edit the device parameters on the
Offline Parameter window in advance. These parameters can then be written to the device
using Download to Device after the device has been delivered and installed.

Parameter Manager
Overview
Parameter Manager has the following functions. HART / Foundation Fieldbus H1
devices are supported.
1. Uploads device parameters.
2. Exports and imports parameters to/from TSV files.
3. Compares the parameters of the connected device with those imported from a file
and checks differences.
4. Selects the parameters for download and then downloads them to the device.
5. Enables parameters freely selected by the user from all the parameters to be
assigned to a Custom tab for up to 5 groups. The selection becomes a common
definition for identical device models. For Foundation Fieldbus H1 devices,
parameter assignment is possible across Foundation Fieldbus H1 blocks.
A DD (Device Description) file corresponding to the device is required to use these
functions. DD files are provided by device vendors. The "Device Files CD-ROM"
includes redistributable DD files obtained from the HART Communication Foundation
and Fieldbus Foundation.

Function Details
Foundation Fieldbus H1 Devices Blocks
In Parameter Manager, only the TB (transducer block) and resource block are selected
to be displayed/set by default for Foundation Fieldbus H1 devices. Blocks other than
these can be added in the option settings. These settings become common definitions
for devices of the same type (model).
More specifically, the read/write permission can be set for all blocks in a device.
However, only the write permission is enabled/disabled for the transducer block and
resource block. The read permission is always enabled.
MIB Parameters and Block Tag Headers of Foundation Fieldbus H1

Devices
This function does not support the MIB parameters (NMIB and SMIB parameters) and
block headers (function block tags, etc.) of Foundation Fieldbus H1 devices.
Foundation Fieldbus H1 Device Mode

When downloading to an Foundation Fieldbus device, the default process is to
automatically enter O/S (Out of Service) mode and then switch back to the previous
mode after writing completes. This process can be enabled or disabled with the Change
O/S Mode during download setting in the Option settings.
Categorize Parameters by Class Attribute

This function allows the user to categorize and display device parameters by class
attribute.
This function is applied to all currently displayed blocks and allows the user to display
parameters that have a class attribute in the order of the blocks.
The following 5 tabs are displayed for Foundation Fieldbus H1 devices.
Alarm, Tune, Operate, Service, Diagnostic
The following 4 tabs are displayed for HART devices.
UPLOAD, MENU, Service, Diagnostic
Custom Tab
The Custom tab allows the user to freely assign, across Foundation Fieldbus H1 blocks,
a list of parameters that needs to be monitored on a device type basis.
To add and display items in the Custom tab, select the desired parameters in a window
other than the Custom tab and then select Send to Custom tab. To remove parameters
from the Custom tab, select a parameter and click Delete from Custom tab on the
Custom tab.
E-28
Export/Import
Parameters uploaded from the connected device can be exported.
The file format is tab-separated text (TSV) and the file extension is .txt.
The following shows the default folder and default file names, so that exported
parameters can be easily managed and imported for downloading to another device of
the same type.
The Select File dialog for exporting or importing parameters by default:
$(FieldMate installed folder)\DeviceParameter\(vendor ID number in six hexadecimal
numbers)\
(device type number in four hexadecimal numbers)\(device revision number in two
hexadecimal numbers)
Example 1: For Foundation Fieldbus H1 device, Yokogawa Electric EJA, and DevRev=2
$(FieldMate Install folder):\FM\DeviceParameter\594543\0003\02
Example 2: For HART device, Yokogawa Electric DYF, and DevRev=1
$(FieldMate Install folder):\FM\DeviceParameter\000037\000B\01
The default file name is:
Device tag-(date)-(time of day).txt
Example: If device tag is FT1001 and parameters are exported at 9 oclock 53 min 4 sec
on
May 30, 2005, the default file name is:
FT1001-(05_30_2005)-(09_53_04).txt
Editing Exported Files

Exported files are in TSV format. You can use spreadsheet software such as Microsoft
Excel to modify parameters and change the line order and then import the file again.
Perform this operation when you download a parameter modification for which there is
meaning to the write order.
Parameter Manager can be used for the following purposes:
1. Checking, setting, and adjusting device parameters
2. Uploading and then exporting a snapshot of all the parameters of a field device after
setting and adjustment of the device is completed and then downloading them to a
device that was installed in the place of the existing device.
3. Engineering the device parameters before delivery or actual installation and
downloading them after the device delivery
4. Copying the settings of one device to another of the same type

Any parameter value that will not fit in the display area is displayed in a text tool tip.
The engineering unit is displayed on both the Device Values area and Work area.
(Only for parameters with an engineering unit.)
The display/edit format is applied, which means that when values are displayed,
they are displayed in accordance with the display format defined in the DD. Also,
when values are edited, they are displayed in accordance with the edit format
defined in the DD.
The scaling factor is applied, which means that parameters for which a scaling
factor is defined by the DD are displayed by the scaling factor being multiplied to a
value read from the connected device.
In the search screen, searches for parameter names including input characters are
performed in order. Searching for values is not supported.

Device ID is an ID that specifies each device. For PROFIBUS and BRAIN devices, set a
unique ID to Device ID to manage the device information.
Device Maintenance Information Flags

The following two flags can be set for device maintenance information. Both flags have
two values, ON/OFF, and the state of both flags can be recognized graphically by
Device Navigator.
1. Device Flag
A flag that can set ON/OFF for a device.
2. Memo Flag (Sticker Note)
A flag that can set ON/OFF for each maintenance memo.
A summary of the memo flags of each maintenance memo can be displayed as the
summary memo flag for the device.
In other words, when there is at least one memo flag that is ON, the summary
memo flag of the device also turns ON.
Searching Device Maintenance Information

This function searches the device maintenance information registered in the database
and narrows down the device.
A Simple Function to Assist Creating Daily Reports

Daily reports can be assisted by selecting and exporting any part of the History to an

Registering Device Maintenance Information
Overview
There are several ways to register device maintenance information.
1. Offline registration
There are two ways to register offline; manual registration and import registration.
Offline registration means that FieldMate is not connected.
Manual registration
Registration is done in the Device Navigator.
Enter the device maintenance information to register.
Import registration*
Registration is done in the Device Navigator.
Import device files or device templates to register.
* See F-1-2-3 Importing and Exporting Device Maintenance Information
2. Online registration
Select the device in the Segment Viewer (Built-in Connection mode) and obtain
information from the device to register.
There are two types of registration; New registration and Overwrite registration (The
latter overwrites the existing device maintenance information with information
obtained from the connected device).
Overwrite registration applies to devices registered offline.
As for devices that are before delivery or actual installation, it is possible to register
manually or by import, and then register by overwrite after the connected device is
delivered.
Online Registration
Is there a device
that has the same
device ID in the
Database?
Yes
No
Select one of the following:

there is no relation between this user account and Windows user account.
How to Define a User Account

Up to 100 user accounts can be defined.
User Accounts
Administrative user: User ID = Administrator, Password = FieldMate*
Default user: User ID = DefaultUser, Password = FieldMate*
* Logging in as an administrative user or default user after creating a user requires a
password.

Segment Viewer
Overview
Advance is supposed to be used in the following two ways and provides an appropriate
operating procedure and data management.
1. When you make settings and adjustments at the workbench, before installing
devices in the field, or when you make settings and adjustments in the field for
installed devices.
The Segment Viewer displays the list of HART/Foundation
Fieldbus/PROFIBUS/BRAIN devices that are directly connected to FieldMate by
physical linkage.
: Available for both Basic and Advance.
2. When you make settings and adjustments for installed devices via network
You can register a device online, and display/set the device maintenance
information.
: Available for Advance.
There are two connection modes available, which are called Built-in Connection and
User Defined Connection.
Built-in Connection (BIC Mode)

The BIC mode is a built-in connection mode of FieldMate. This mode is available for the
four types, HART, Foundation Fieldbus, PROFIBUS, and BRAIN. For HART and BRAIN,
you can perform communication using an optional HART/BRAIN modem of FieldMate by
connecting it directly to the field device.
For Foundation Fieldbus and PROFIBUS, you can perform communication by
purchasing a NI-FBUS of National Instruments, (for Foundation Fieldbus) or a
PROFIusb of Softing, (for PROFIBUS) and connecting it to the bus to which the field
device is connected.
The BIC mode is available for both Basic and Advance.
User Defined Connection (UDC Mode)

The UDC mode requires installing its COMM/Gateway DTM, and define the network
topology according to the COMM/Gateway DTM for the connection to the field device.
The UDC mode is available only for Advance

User Defined Connection

Built-in Connection supports the communication paths for HART, Foundation Fieldbus,
PROFIBUS, and BRAIN direct connections. If you want to build a communication path
other than the HART, Foundation Fieldbus, PROFIBUS, and BRAIN direct connections
that are supported in Built-in Connection, you can use User Defined Communication. If
you want to use a communication protocol that is not supported in Built-in
Communication, you can also use User Defined Connection. If you want to create a
communication path and register a device using User Defined Connection, you need to
separately obtain and install the Comm DTM, Gateway DTM, Device DTM, or a
communication interface card if needed.
The following describes the outline of the procedure for how to use User Defined
Connection.
1. Install the Comm DTM, Gateway DTM, Device DTM, and a communication interface
card on a PC installed with FieldMate.
2. Update the DTM catalog in DTM Setup. *
3. Select User Defined Connection in Segment Viewer. Start DTM Works by selecting
New FDT Project.
4. Select and assign the Comm DTM and Gateway DTM from the list of installed
Comm DTMs, Gateway DTMs, and Device DTMs.
5. Configure the Comm DTM and Gateway DTM to create a communication path.
6. Select the Device DTM and assign the device.
(The communication path that was created above when assigning the device is a
FDT Project name).
7. Select the device, start up DTM Works, and set and adjust the device.
*:
When you add or delete a Comm DTM, Gateway DTM, or Device DTM, you need to update the DTM catalog.
You can update the DTM catalog in DTM Setup.

Relation between FDT Project and Device

Maintenance Info
TIP
The information in this chapter is useful when you configure the advanced settings to create a FDT
Project.
The following describes the differences between the device DTM data in the FDT Project
and the DTM data in the device maintenance information in the database, and how to
assign the information.
Differences
y A FDT Project stores the Device DTM data, Comm DTM data, and Gateway DTM
data.
Also, device maintenance information stores only the Device DTM data.
y A FDT Project stores one set of DTM data for the device.
Also, device maintenance information can store up to five sets of device DATM
data.
Assigning
y You can assign the device maintenance information to the device DTM in the FDT
Project.
The device DTM data in the FDT Project and in the device maintenance information
are saved in different areas. Therefore, although the FDT Project is saved, the
device DTM data in the device maintenance information is not updated.
The device DTM data can be transferred between the FDT Project and device
maintenance information. For example, when the device DTM is selected in DTM
Works and saved to the database with Save to Database, the device DTM data in
the FDT Project is saved to the device maintenance information.
y You cannot assign different device DTMs in the FDT Project to the same device
y The FDT Project is deleted, but the assigned device maintenance information is not
deleted.
The device DTM is deleted in DTM Works, but the assigned device maintenance
information is not deleted.
In both cases, only the relevant FDT Project item in "Device Info - Communication
Path" for Device Maintenance Info is deleted.
y Although the device maintenance information is deleted, the assigned FDT Project
is not deleted.
When DTM Works is running in the UDC mode, the device maintenance information
to which the FDT Project is assigned cannot be deleted, and also the device
information cannot be changed.

Registration are recorded for all items that have been changed. In this case,
operation log of differences from the condition before change is recorded only when the
change is confirmed (saved). In other words, no operation log is recorded if an item(s) is
changed, but is returned to the original condition without confirmation.
Moreover, if a device detected using Segment Viewer is overwriting registered for the
maintenance information of the existing devices, the operation logs of Modify
