Generic Modbus DDXML DTM 2.0

Generic Modbus DDXML DTM by Schneider Electric

The Generic Modbus DDXML DTM is a Device Type Manager that enables easy integration, commissioning, and maintenance of Modbus devices within any FDT-compliant frame application. Instead of requiring a custom DTM for each device, it reads a standardized Device Description in XML (DDXML) to automatically generate parameter pages, diagnostics, and commands, letting you work with a broad range of Modbus instruments and actuators through a single, consistent interface.

Key capabilities:

• DDXML-driven configuration: Imports a device’s XML description to build parameter sets, menus, and data mappings without custom coding.
• Centralized parameterization: Perform offline/online edits, downloads/uploads, and template reuse across similar Modbus devices.
• Diagnostics and monitoring: Access device status, read/write registers, and view communication diagnostics directly from the FDT frame.
• Broad interoperability: Works in Schneider Electric and third-party FDT frame applications, helping standardize workflows across mixed-vendor fleets.
• Scalable and future-ready: Add new devices by supplying their DDXML files, reducing engineering effort and lifecycle costs.

Typical use cases:

• Commissioning and maintaining drives, energy meters, remote I/O, sensors, and other Modbus-based field devices.
• Harmonizing configuration and troubleshooting practices across large, heterogeneous installations.

Notes:

• Functionality depends on the content and quality of each device’s DDXML file and on the capabilities of the connected device.
• Supported communication options and features may vary by frame application and version.
