Electronic Device Description Language
or Field Device Tool?
EDDL based system
Proprietary operating language
Operating system independent
EDD (driver) supplied by each device
manufacturer in line with a proprietary standard
FDT based system
Open platform – vendor independent
Complies with published FDT standard
DTM (driver) written by each device
manufacturer in line with the published standard

Device configuration road map
1993 HART communication foundation formed, EDDL standardised
1994 FF and PNO adopted EDDL (independently and differently
2002 FF, HCF, PNO enhance EDDL and add diagnostics – IEC 61804-2
2003 FDT group formed (informal cooperation)
2004 EDDL Cooperation team founded – HCF, FF, PI + OPC Foundation
2005 FDT Group founded as an International Association
2007 FDI Standardisation project launched
2011 FDI cooperation formed with FDT, FF, HCF, PI, OPC Foundation

The start of Field Device Integration
Announcement at Hannover Fair 2007
March 6th 2007 - FDT Group and EDDL
Cooperation Team member organisations
agree to work on a unified solution – Field
Device Integration – FDI
FDT Group will join the ECT as a voting
member
(2007)

Why start this cooperation?
Process Automation end users ask for a single solution
Current FDT and EDDL technologies have partial overlap causing a competitive situation
Current situation is confusing because of conflicting messages
Suppliers face expensive development
Most suppliers are members of both ECT Organization and FDT Group. They must invest in parallel
to support both technologies
(2007)

Common objectives
Applicable to any field device communication technology
Applicable for all network topologies.
Backward compatibility with existing EDDL based device descriptions and DTM’s.
Open specification that will become an international standard.
Platform and operating system independent.
(2007)

End user benefits
Single and consistent solution irrespective of supplier to achieve interoperability.
Compatibility with installed base.
Shared strategy and development by all suppliers ensures integration of all devices.
Clear technology direction shared by all suppliers ends uncertainties.
(2007)

FDI Device Package – one per device – the core of FDI
EDDL
Device data
Internal structure
User Interface Plug-ins
“look and feel”

…

EDDL based FDI hosts will support existing EDD’s
FDI Host
New FDI device packages are imported
Existing EDD files can be imported

FDT2 based FDI hosts will support existing DTM’s
FDT2 Host
New FDI device packages are imported using
an FDI DTM
Existing DTM’s files continue to be used
Existing EDD files can be imported using an
interpreter DTM

Field Device Tool (FDT) platforms
What are they – how do they work?

The FDT Group
The FDT Group formed in 2005
open
independent
non-profit
association of 82 international companies
Owner of the FDT Technology
Responsible for maintenance, further development, and promotion
of FDT Technology
Responsible for certification and compliance testing of FDT products
Dedicated to establishing and maintaining FDT Technology as an
international standard with broad acceptance within the
automation industry
Open to all companies that wish to participate

FDT Group members

What is FDT/DTM?
FDT / DTM
FDT = Field Device Tool (frame application)
Follows a published standard specification
DTM = Device Type Manager (device driver)
Compatible with an FDT frame application
Open standardised technology
independent of device or system supplier
Independent of device type
sensor, actuator, remote I/O, drives, etc.
Full support of installed base
Independent of communication protocol
Ethernet, HART, PROFIBUS, Foundation Fieldbus, etc.
Vertical integration by nested communication

How does FDT/DTM technology work?

ProfiBUS connection options

ProfiNET connection options

DTM example - valve positioner

DTM example - motor controller

DTM example - network diagnostics

DTM example - pressure transmitter

Live demo
Using and FDT Frame application – FieldCare – to configure:
PROFIBUS PA devices via a PROFINET Power Hub gateway (Proxy)
PROFINET devices with a direct connection over ethernet
