Neles FieldCare™ – Field device configuration and condition monitoring software

Neles FieldCare from Metso Automation is a new, universal FDT-based software for the operation and monitoring of intelligent field devices. FDT (Field Device Tool) is an open software specification supported by major instrument and control system suppliers. FieldCare can be used within a process control system or as a device management tool. It consists of an FDT frame application and DTMs (Device Type Managers).
