Work with a wide variety of field devices can be considerably simplified with VEGA DTM and PACTware. The new version of DTM Collection, 10/2018, is said to enable more efficient work with point-to-point connections.

VEGA level measuring instruments, the company says, can be quickly and intuitively parameterized or evaluated with the PACTware consortium’s open software (see video).

In its latest version, the program offers – parallel to the existing setup functions – the new PACTware DC, which allows users to carry out all tasks much faster.

Thanks to DC, the connection to the instrument is said to establish itself automatically as a point-to-point application.

On its own, the software finds the appropriate communication DTM on the HMI device and docks online.

In the current version 10/2018, the DTM Collection remains the user-friendly, streamlined setup, configuration and diagnostics tool that it has always been, the company says.

The software, which was designed and developed according to FDT/DTM Style Guide, has been released for Windows versions 7, 8 and 10 and is now available free of charge via download.
