No Component Version Conflicts
z EDDL is a textual
description EDDL reduces cost and time by
eliminating conflicts between files
– One file for each version
from different device types and
– New EDDL files are simply versions
copied and pasted
– Working EDDL files are left
alone
EDDL is Intrinsically Robust 3.2
- Integrated Host

– Does not affect run-time
stability of DCS
– Device management client
can be integrated on DCS
operator consoles EDDL reduces cost and time by
• Diagnostics enabling all work to be done from
a single “dashboard”
Cyber Security
- EDDL Works Like HTML
z EDDL is a textual
description
– Reduced risk of
downloading files from the EDDL avoids additional cost and
internet or copying from time that could be incurred by
others. virus or worms had software had
to be installed
EDDL is Universal: 5.1
- Supports System Configuration
z EDDL enables
FOUNDATION Fieldbus
configuration EDDL reduces cost and time by
– Fieldbus loops cannot be using a single technology for
configured without EDDL control strategy configuration and
device management
z EDDL simplifies external
access to device data
– Enables automatic OPC
server configuration

Operating System Independent 5.3
- Not Affected by Windows Upgrades
z EDDL files are unaffected
by operating system
upgrade, service pack, or EDDL reduces cost and time by
security patches not requiring new files to be
obtained when operating system
– New versions of Windows
is patched or upgraded
can be adopted sooner
– EDDL files created for
devices in 1992 still work
today
– Investment is protected
5.5
Multi-User Synchronized Clients
z EDDL
– Device manufacturer need
not write code to ensure
EDDL speeds up commissioning
synchronization between
and other tasks by allowing many
multiple clients persons to work at multiple
– The device management workstations simultaneously
software ensures without conflicts
synchronization between
multiple clients
3.1
EDDL Protects Investment
z EDDL is an independent
standard
– EDDL files for new devices
are compatible with old
Windows and SP
– New Windows versions are EDDL reduces cost and time by
compatible with EDDL files not having to upgrade operating
for old devices system to support new device
– New version of device versions
management software is
compatible with EDDL files
for old devices
z The EDDL-files created
for devices in 1992 still
work on systems shipped
today
5.2
EDDL Requires No License Keys
z The EDDL file is an
integral part of the device EDDL reduces cost and time by
reducing the need to pay for and
manage license keys

EDDL Interoperability Testing
z EDDL file is tested with
device protocol
– Validates the file against
the actual device
– Ensures high quality and
ensuring high quality and reliability
reliability of interoperability of interoperability
EDDL is The Only International Standard
z IEC 61804-3 and -4 are
the only international
standards for device
integration EDDL is the only standard
z EN 50391 is the only
European standard for
device integration
z ANSI/ISA 61804-3 and -4
are the only US standards
for device integration
User Guidance: Documentation and 4.2
Context Sensitive Help
z EDDL provide help and documentation
– Help for parameters
– Help for buttons Device
manufacturers
– Help for menus embed their know-
– Help for selection options how in the form of
– Links to manual and notes etc. text, images, and
help text
EDDL reduces cost
and time by
reducing the need
to browse through
hundreds of pages
of contiguous
manual text
