o Incorporated in March 2006
History of more than 5 year prior
o Funded by membership dues
More than 90 members world-wide More than 100 active volunteers
Headquartered in Jodoigne, Belgium
Purpose
o Technically advance the FDT standard
o Drive adoption of FDT standard by international standards bodies
IEC 62453
ISA / ANSI 103 China GB/T
o Raise awareness of the FDT standard with end users and vendors
DTM CERTIFICATIONS
Independent labs carry out the test procedures
o FDT office audits the labs
FDT Office issues device certificates upon passing the tests Visit www.fdtgroup.org for a list of DTMs

A new cyber security infrastructure has been established
o Threat response
o Security architecture
o Security quality assurance
Independent audit of the FDT standards will be complete in Summer 2015
o Will result in best practices documents at a minimum
FDT members should name an cyber security contact

Network / devices need to be configured, before they can be used. This can e.g. be done in a normal engineering tool using the DTMs. Configured network topology / device type
information can be used to generate basic part of FDT®2 OPC UA information model

Information provided by the DTMs can be used to complete the information model
o Device type information o Parameter information o IO information
o Supported DTM functions

OPC UA server can use device DTMs to access
data
o Enables access to
all parameters, IOs
o Enables data read
and write
o OPC server doesn’t need
protocol specific handling
OPC UA server as FDT frame application
OPC Server – FDT frame application OPC UA Clients browse read/write data execute function Data access interface
Concept combines where FDT and OPC fits best
OPC provides uniform interface for many different
client applications
FDT provides network / device configuration and
access to devices
FDT concepts enable unification
of system engineering, configuration &
diagnosis in Industry 4.0
FDT supports Industry 4.0 devices, but is
also able to build a bridge to Industry 3.0
networks and devices
Required FDT extensions are
FDT OPC UA protocol annex specification
FDT / AutomationML data mapping annex specification
MOBILITY
FDT Group is sponsoring
a survey being
conducted to better
understand the market
requirements of using
the FDT standard in a
mobile setting

FDT Mobility Survey - Overview
When doing device management with the FDT Standard, how often do you perform:
o device installation and configuration?
o device monitoring?
o do alarm management and diagnostics?
o do you do calibration and maintenance?
Are there situations or tasks for which a mobile solution for device management would be useful?
In what context might you work with a mobile solution?
Will you have network connectivity (e.g. 3G/4G/WiFi) in your mobile application context?
Does your mobile solution need to work in a hazardous environment?
What tasks might you perform with such a mobile solution?
Would you expect that the mobile application reacts to the proximity to a machine or device?

A smartphone or tablet has many capabilities and sensors that traditional computers do not have. Which of these could be useful with mobile device management? If some of these terms are
unknown to you, leave the corresponding check boxes unchecked. How many Device Type Managers (DTMs) should be included in a single application on the mobile device?
How important is a reliable synchronization across devices (desktop, mobile devices) for you?
Do you have concerns regarding the security of a mobile device management?
Which aspects should determine who has access to certain functions in the mobile application?
Which mobile devices should be supported by the FDT technology? Which mobile operating systems should be supported?
Would you expect that you can use your personal mobile device for device management?
