The Truce
IEC changes strategy from single to multiple fieldbus standard
Edition 1 (2003) 7 Communication Families 18 profiles
Edition 4 (est. 2013) 18 Communication Families 51 Profiles *
Foundation fieldbus
IEC 61158-1 Ed.1 (2003)
IEC 61784 Ed. 1 (2003)
ControlNet
PROFIBUS
P-NET
WorldFIP
INTERBUS
SwiftNet
* Excludes real time Ethernet (61784-2) and functional safety (61784-3) profiles

Standards
The wonderful thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from.

Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL)
The “E” is for Electronic, not Enhanced Some technologies use the term Device Description
Language (DDL) Adopted for HART in 1992 Adopted for Foundation Fieldbus in 1994 Adopted for Profibus in 2000 International Standard as IEC 61804-2 since 2004 EDDL collectively maintained through IEC by
Fieldbus Foundation, HART Communication Foundation and Profibus Organization

EDDL Characteristics
Communication Network Independent (with dialects) Platform Independent OS Independent Interpreted -- No machine level execution Parameter definitions and attributes
Label, Help, Units, Handing Procedure through method calls (interpreted) Visualizations through menus Common look and feel with host EDDL developer influences presentation

EDDL Cooperation Team
Formed in 2003 via Memorandum of Understanding Fieldbus Foundation HART Communication Foundation Profibus Organization
Phase 1 (2003) Extended visualization Persistent Data Storage
Phase 2 (2004) Added OPC Foundation Support for more complex devices Map EDDL to OPC UA Information Model

Association in 2003 between ABB, Endress+Hauser, Invensys, Metso, and Siemens
Became FDT Group in 2005 Profiles for several communication networks
including HART, PROFIBUS, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, DeviceNet, Interbus, AS-Interface, PROFINET IO
International Standard as IEC 62453 since 2009 FDT maintained through IEC by FDT Group

FDT Characteristics
Communication Network Independent Platform Independent Based on COM/ActiveX (FDT 1.x), .NET (FDT 2.x) DTM as the device driver (application plug-in) DTM executes within an FDT Frame application CommDTM for communication drivers (cards,
gateways) Strong visualization and business logic capabilities DTM developer controls the presentation

Complementary or Competing?
Both, but the question misses the point
End Users are frustrated Want the best of both worlds Limited choice of products based on vendors alignment
Device suppliers are frustrated Spending money on duplicated efforts Host specific implementations
System Suppliers are frustrated Protect the integrity of the process automation system Provide consistent user experiences

The itm whitepaper
Harmonize EDDL and FDT Approaches
Client / Server Model Using OPC UA Decouples device
information model (DIM) and the device object model (DOM)
Becomes the basis of the FDI Project
Future becomes Field

FDI Project Announcement
Announced 2007 at Interkama/Hannover
FDT Group joins the EDDL Cooperation Team
Increase scope to create unified solution based on concepts from itm white paper

Why Field Device Integration?
Process automation end users are asking for a single solution Current FDT and EDDL technologies with partial overlap cause
competitive positioning Current situation is confusing because of conflicting messages
Suppliers face expensive development Most suppliers are simultaneously part of ECT organization and
FDT. They must invest in parallel developments for EDDT and FDT.

FDI Cooperation Principles
Features based on Use Cases and Requirements Harmonized EDDL Host System Independent Support FOUNDATION fieldbus, HART, PROFIBUS
and PROFINET Open to other industrial networks Support Nested communications through
heterogeneous networks Support Information exchange between FDI Host and
generic OPC UA Client FDI Packages must be compatible with FDT 2.0+

New Terminology
FDI Package The file for device integration Based Open Packaging Conventions (IEC 29500)
User Interface Plug-in (UIP) executable plug-in Can support multiple platforms and technologies While it shares similarities, a UIP is not a DTM
User Interface Description (UID) Graphic visualization of device parameters Implemented as EDDL Menus and Methods
26Field Device Integration

FDI Package
Collection of components that provide all the information necessary to integrate a type of device into a system
Device Package
•Most common•Typically, one package per device type•Multiple device types for modular devices (e.g. remote IO)
Profile Package
•Generic package for devices without a specific Device Package•Typically provided by Foundation
User Interface Plug-in (UIP) Package
•Provides one or more UIPs to an FDI Server independent of Device Package•Value add-ons•Common plugins for a device family
Communication Package
•Provide information to integrate an FDI Communication Server•Interface cards, gateways, etc.

Backward Compatibility
Critical End User Requirement
Foundation Fieldbus Full support to existing DD Library (DD4, DD5)
HART Full support of existing DD Library (FMS, FM6, FM8)
PROFIBUS Legacy EDDs were DDL Source Backward compatibility through new Tokenizer tool
Native FDT 2 based system can support FDI Packages
Native FDI Systems support EDDL
Native FDI Systems do not support DTMs

Simplify Deployment
Into the System
FDI Packages are imported, not installed
No Windows Installer No writing registries No installing DLL or
other windows libraries Intuitive file name
convention No more ‘0101.ffo’
Within the System
FDI Servers maintain device models
Servers push UIPs to clients on demand
Install once, use everywhere
All persistent data resides at the FDI server

Integrity and Authenticity
FDI Package is signed using x509 digital certificates
Industry standard for security
Integrity Verify the package has not been manipulated
Authenticity Verify the package developer

Lifecycle Management
Standardized versioning concept <major.minor.revision>-build
Package versions update (patches) upgrades (new device versions)
