EDDL Specification
PROFIBUS , PROFIBUS PA , PROFINET PA
Description:
These documents specify the Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) technology, which enables the integration of real product details using the tools of the engineering life cycle.
EDDL is used to create Electronic Device Description (EDD) for e.g. concrete devices, common usable profiles or libraries. This EDD is used with appropriate tools to generate an interpretative code to support parameter handling, operation, and monitoring of automation system components such as remote I/Os, controllers, sensors, and programmable controllers. Tool implementation is outside the scope of this standard.
61804-3 specifies the Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) technology, which enables the integration of real product details using the tools of the engineering life cycle. It specifies the semantic and lexical structure in a syntax-independent manner.
61804-4 specifies EDD interpretation for EDD applications and EDDs to support EDD interoperability. This document is intended to ensure that field device developers use the EDDL constructs consistently and that the EDD applications have the same interpretations of the EDD. It supplements the EDDL specification to promote EDDL application interoperability and improve EDD portability between EDDL applications.
61804-5 specifies the EDDL Builtin library and provides the profiles of the various fieldbuses.
