A network that contains devices connected to a specific communication port of a logic controller. This controller is seen as a master from the devices point of view.
(device type manager) Classified into 2 categories:
oDevice DTMs connect to the field device configuration components.
oCommDTMs connect to the software communication components.
The DTM provides a unified structure for accessing device parameters and configuring, operating, and diagnosing the devices. DTMs can range from a simple graphical user interface for setting device parameters to a highly sophisticated application capable of performing complex real-time calculations for diagnosis and maintenance purposes.
In EtherNet/IP, the device that initiates a CIP connection for implicit or explicit messaging communications or that initiates a message request for un-connected explicit messaging.
See also target
In EtherNet/IP, a device is considered to be the target when it is the recipient of a connection request for implicit or explicit messaging communications.

(tested validated documented architectures) Control system proposals based on Schneider Electric components.TVDAs cover a wide range of machine types and consider machine performance requirements, installation constraints, and target costs. To optimize the implementation effort, each TVDA comes with a detailed component list, wiring diagrams, and commissioning guide, as well as controller and HMI applications to control components of the system.
