PD CLC/TR 62453-51-20:2019

What is PD CLC/TR 62453‑51‑20- Field device tool about?  

PD CLC/TR 62453‑51‑20 is the twentieth part of the IEC 62453-51-xy series, which is a Technical Report, provides information for integrating the CIP™ technology into the COM-based implementation of FDT interface specification (IEC TR 62453-41). 

PD CLC/TR 62453‑51‑20 specifies implementation of communication and other services based on IEC 62453-302. 

Note- 

PD CLC/TR 62453‑51‑20 neither contains the FDT specification nor modifies it 

Who is PD CLC/TR 62453‑51‑20- Field device tool for? 

PD CLC/TR 62453‑51‑20 on communication implementation for common object model for field device tool (FDT) interface specification is applicable to: 

• Developers of field device tool 
• Field device tool manufacturers  

Why should you use PD CLC/TR 62453‑51‑20- Field device tool?  

PD CLC/TR 62453‑51‑20 provides interface specifications for developers of Field Device Tool (FDT) components for function control and data access within a client/server architecture. The specification is a result of an analysis and design process to develop standard interfaces to facilitate the development of servers and clients by multiple vendors that need to interoperate seamlessly. This helps you to improve interoperability. 

PD CLC/TR 62453‑51‑20 lays out various data types such as communication data types, device identification data type, channel parameter data type, network management data type which can be used by the developers in FDT interface.  

What’s changed since the last update?  

PD CLC/TR 62453‑51‑20:2019 supersedes PD CLC/TR 62453‑502:2009, which is withdrawn 

PD CLC/TR 62453‑51‑20:2019 edition constitutes a technical revision. The main change consists in improved support for Ethernet/IP.
