    Background
    During the past decade, fieldbus technology has gained widespread acceptance in industry and has become a central component of automation technology. From origins in manufacturing automation, fieldbuses have gradually established themselves in process automation applications.
    Over time, two different communication technologies have been developed to transport the field device data via the particular fieldbus system to the host DCS and Asset Management system:

  • Electronic Data Description Language (EDDL) and
  • Field Device Tool/Device Type Manager (FDT/DTM).


    • A WIB working group is comparing systems and application specifics, in order to give members the right background and arguments to arrive at an optimum selection for their application. This workshop will provide introduction and background information as well as discussion opportunity.
