The Fieldbus Foundation has released an updated version of its Foundation fieldbus Host Test Kit (HTK) DD Application Module (Version 2.0.0), offering hardware and software for testing for functionality of a fieldbus host.
The powerful fieldbus HTK is driven by the foundation’s End User Advisory Council (EUAC), and includes hardware and software for testing the functionality of a fieldbus host product — such as a process control sensor or analyser that incorporates fieldbus technology — and its conformance with the Foundation host profile specifications.
The Foundation fieldbus HTK is designed to validate host applications implementing DD Services, files for persistent storage of functional parameter data, and grids for vector data visualisation and manipulation.
Hosts successfully completing the Fieldbus Foundation’s test requirements are authorised to bear the official Foundation fieldbus product registration symbol.
