This document discusses electronic device description languages (DDLs) used for industrial automation. It provides an overview of DDL origins and objectives, describes DDL objects like variables, menus, methods and blocks. Examples are given of DDL usage in device descriptions, variable types, and menu/method definitions according to standards like HART and Fieldbus Foundation specifications. The document aims to explain how DDLs define how a field device presents itself to host systems.

DDL Origins Developed by Fisher-Rosemount for transducers connected over HART


HART = data communication superimposed over 4-10 mA loops

Extended by Fieldbus Foundation (FF-900-1.0 1996)

Objective:
define how a device presents itself to a hand-help terminal or an engineering station

became international standard in 2004 as EDDL (IEC 61804-2)
