ISA’s Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) standards committee, ISA-SP104, has launched a new website, www.eddl.org, that gives information about the standard and offers resources for learning more about EDDL technology.
The EDDL standard advances interoperability of devices in control systems and handheld communicators. Device diagnostics, asset management, and user interface displays enabled by EDDL enhance reliability and performance.
"EDDL is an important subject in the industry today, and we're proud of the work that we're doing to further the understanding of how this standard is used to make plants more competitive," said ISA-SP104 Committee Chair Terry Blevins of Emerson Process. "This website will offer viewers the chance to see the benefits and history, how it is used, common questions and answers, and who the supporting organizations are."
Major manufacturers use EDDL technology to describe the information that is accessible in digital devices. Electronic device descriptions are available for over 15 million devices that are currently installed in the process industry.
The website is a good way for interested parties to learn how to ensure long-term viability of device management solutions, protect their investment in these systems. Te site also features links to training, technical articles about EDDL, online tutorials, and other related standards efforts.
