Honeywell XNX Device Type Manager (DTM) User Manual

Honeywell XNX Device Type Manager (DTM) User Manual 

The purpose of this document is to support the plant operators with commissioning, operation, configuration and diagnosis of the XNXTM Universal Transmitter HART. The XNX is a universal gas analyser transmitter utilizing the full range of toxic and flammable gas sensing technologies – including catalytic bead, electrochemical and infrared. It supports the widest range of sensors on a common platform and offers a modular choice of inputs and outputs (saving customers time and money).

The XNX HART device can be configured and operated by a DTM (Device Type Manager) that provides an easy to use user interface for accessing device variables, configuration parameters and diagnosis information.

The XNX HART Device Type Manager offers the combination of FDT and EDDL technologies and a uniform user interface according to the FDT style guide. It is a full-featured device DTM that carries the standard EDD-Interpreter components to execute the EDD during runtime. Because it is using existing device descriptions, plant operators will experience a familiar operating concept in the DTM.
