The FDT specification supports the communication protocols AS-interface, CAN open, CIP Annex Configuration, CONTROL Net, Device Net, Ethernet/IP, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, HART, INTERBUS, IO Link, MODBUS SL/TCP, PROFIBUS DP/PA, and PROFINET I/O.

The FDT Group is open to future developments and MARKET requirements and continues to expand its support of new protocols.

DUE to the open nature of the standard, several device and HOST manufacturers have even added their own proprietary or legacy protocols to the standard for use in their own applications.
