2. The key to interoperability 2 Agenda

3. The key to interoperability 3 EDDL Tutorial

4. The key to interoperability 4 Background Time: circa 1990 Situation: valves and transmitters are becoming microprocessor based; intelligent field devices HART® Communication Protocol is popular Issue: Interoperability of devices with Host applications EDDL Tutorial

5. The key to interoperability 5 Solving Interoperability … Problem:How does the Host understand device capabilities and interpret digital information in the HART messages? Option #1:Custom Software Drivers Software driver needed for each device type Time consuming/costly to write Difficult for supplier to maintain Difficult for end users to manage EDDL Tutorial

6. The key to interoperability 6 Solving Interoperability … Problem:How does the Host understand device capabilities and interpret digital information in the HART messages? Option #2: Use a Descriptive Technology EDDL Tutorial

7. The key to interoperability What is EDDL? International Standard for Interoperability EDDL is an Electronic Device Description Language EDDL is an international standard Endorsed by IEC (IEC 61804) EDDL is endorsed by the three major digital busses Fieldbus Foundation HART Communication Foundation Profibus Nutzerorganisation e.V (PNO) EDDL Tutorial

8. The key to interoperability 8 EDDL EDDL technology was designed to avoid the need for special, proprietary, and operating system-specific host application files It allows a host system to both configure as well as monitor devices on-line Consists of two parts A file (EDD) that describes the device and the information that it contains A host application that reads the EDD file to learn how to retrieve and interpret digital information from the device EDDL Tutorial

9. The key to interoperability What is an EDD? An EDD is the computer readable file written in Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) that describes the data in a field device It is in a compressed binary format It is not executable code It is the file that the Host application reads in order to learn how to retrieve information from the field device EDDL Tutorial

10. The key to interoperability EDD’s and Interoperability EDD’s enable : - Devices from different suppliers to interoperate with a single Host - The same device to interoperate with different Hosts. Device from Supplier A Device from Supplier Z Describes How the device functions per IEC 61804 Small ASCII files (< 200k) EDDL Tutorial

11. The key to interoperability 11 EDDL: Operating System Independent Application on PC or Handheld uses the same DD Fully backward compatible Unix Linux WIN NT Win XP Simple Text File Same For All Hosts Win CE Vista EDD EDDL Tutorial

12. The key to interoperability 12 Background Time:Circa 2002 Situation: Fieldbus Foundation, HART Communication Foundation and Profibus are all using EDDL Valves and transmitters are becoming more intelligent Field devices are incorporating complex diagnostics and set-up requirements Issue:EDDL in IEC 61804-2 does not have any features to support graphical display of diagnostics and advanced device features EDDL Tutorial

13. The key to interoperability 13 EDDL Has Been Enhanced Goal: Extend Interoperability to support increasing device intelligence The HART Communication Foundation, the Fieldbus Foundation and Profibus Nutzerorganisation e.V formed a Cooperative Project to specify EDDL enhancements The enhancements have been tested and have been added to IEC 61804 Approved on 10 Feb 2006 The new document will be published as IEC 61804-3, in June 2006 EDDL Tutorial

18. The key to interoperability 18 The key to interoperability Benefits to End Users and Vendors

19. The key to interoperability 19 Independency of EDDL – is minimizing continuous upgrades EDDL / EDDs are independent from Operating systems and versions DCS platforms Communication interfaces and paths Why? EDDs are text based files There is no executable code in an EDD EDDs are managed by an interpreter, all communication setups are done by the DCS or the tool EDD and Excel sheets – a comparable technology Both describe user interfaces including graphics and complex relations between the data In case of changing the versions of EXCEL or the operating system there is no need to upgrade the sheet It simple works! Benefits to End Users and Vendors

20. The key to interoperability 20 EDDL is Easy to Use ensures transparency and accessibility in your plant Build in state of the art graphics Trends, Bar graphs One tool for all devices Common transparent data base A new device just a new EDD Same Look & Feel in a tool / DCS for all devices EDDs define the data organization for the UI to build up a real one Benefits to End Users and Vendors

21. The key to interoperability 21 EDDL Technology Supports Safe Operation of Your Plant No influence on the runtime stability There is no executable code with EDDs which may have an effect to the stability of the operating system EDDs are interpreted and therefore encapsulated No impact of one EDD to others Easy update and device additions during operation Operating System Interpreter EDD Benefits to End Users and Vendors

22. The key to interoperability 22 EDDL – For Vendors: Easy to Use and to Learn, Easy to Maintain EDDL is easy to learn Like Visual Basic Standard text editor Context sensitive editors available Existing EDDs can be used as a basis for a new device Learning by doing One EDDL – many languages for localisation VARIABLE tag { LABEL“TAG“; HELP“|en|Text that can be used in any way.“ CLASSDEVICE; TYPEINTEGER(1) } Definition of a variable of a device Benefits to End Users and Vendors Adapting an EDD to a new device version normally means copy/paste and small adjustments

23. The key to interoperability 23 EDDL - Backbone for Diagnostics & Maintenance Management System EDDs provide diagnostics data for Maintenance Management Systems Occurrences of non regular states of components are signaled to an DCS The diagnostics data are read via the corresponding EDD from the device w/o disturbing the plant operation Predictive maintenance based on EDDs saves costs due to reduced cyclic scheduled service tasks Benefits to End Users and Vendors

24. The key to interoperability 24 EDDL Keeps Your Investment Alive Reduced costs for education and training Learn handling once- manage all devices and components due to the common Look & Feel in your Tool or system Transparent backward compatibility reduces upgrade costs in case of Operation System upgrade Tool / DCS upgrade Stable and consistent EDDL standard reduce costs no upgrades of EDDs due to new EDDL version at a device supplier No installation of such “new” (means upgraded) EDDs at end users Benefits to End Users and Vendors

25. The key to interoperability 25 EDDL – Fits Best in All Environments EDDL is used from Handheld to MES 1) from simple devices to very complex devices 1) Manufacturing Execution System Benefits to End Users and Vendors

26. The key to interoperability 26 EDDL Can Be Used All Over Your Plant Control Manufacturing execution systems (MES) Enterprise resource planning (ERP) MES solutions Production workflow Production life cycle Inbound logisticsProcess DiscreteOutbound logistics Design and engineering Installation and commissioning OperationMaintenance Modernization and upgrading Shows where EDDs / EDD data can be used Benefits to End Users and Vendors
