The valve diagnostic software VALcare™ is available as Device Type Manager (DTM) for integration into control systems based on the Field Device Tool (FDT) technology such as the Foxboro I/A™ Series System.
  It is designed to support methods for evaluation of the valve health, operation and configuration.
The DTMs support the communication protocols HART, Profibus PA, FOUNDATION Fieldbus (FF) and FoxCom.
