Field Device Tool (FDT)

Note regarding the FDT plug-in

The FDT plug-in is available from TwinCAT 3.1 build 4022.

For older TwinCAT versions please contact Beckhoff support.

A further possible use of a DTM for comprehensive sensor/ actuator communication is provided by an (external) FDT application. This is largely independent of the TwinCAT system (except for the physical layer). It is described in chapter “Using an external FDT application”.
