How Long Have You Been Benefiting from EDDL?

Thousands of instrument technicians have been benefiting from multi-vendor EDDL interoperability daily since 1992 - without even knowing it is there...– Commissioning– Loop Check & Simulation– Calibration Trim– Identification– Parameterization & Range– Monitoring– Diagnostics

EDDL reduces cost and time by eliminating need to carry multiple

tools

Why Do I Need This?- Device Integration & Plant Life Cycle

Problem:– Software is used to decode and display device

information– New versions and types of devices come to the plant

every few months– Software must be kept up to date with new devices

Possible solutions:– Install new software version every time

• Impossible– Install new software driver

• Not permitted on a DCS, must be separated• Conflicts with each other and other software

– Copy new device description (EDDL)• No change to the software

EDDL Protects InvestmentEDDL is an independent standard– EDDL files for new devices are

compatible with old Windows and SP

– New Windows versions are compatible with EDDL files for old devices

– New version of device management software is compatible with EDDL files for old devices

The EDDL-files continue to work
