Abstract :
EDDL (electronic device description language) is a text -based language for describing the digital communication characteristics of intelligent field instrumentation and equipment parameters - device status, diagnostic data, and configuration details in an operating system (OS) and human machine interface (HMI) neutral environment. The EDDL technology enables a host system manufacturer to create single engineering environment without the need for custom software drivers for each device type.
