Electronic Device Description Language or Field Device Tool?

EDDL based system

Proprietary operating language

Operating system independent

EDD (driver) supplied by each device manufacturer in line with a proprietary standard

FDT based system

Open platform – vendor independent

Complies with published FDT standard

DTM (driver) written by each device manufacturer in line with the published standard

Device configuration road map

1993 HART communication foundation formed, EDDL standardised

1994 FF and PNO adopted EDDL (independently and differently

2002 FF, HCF, PNO enhance EDDL and add diagnostics – IEC 61804-2

2003 FDT group formed (informal cooperation)

2004 EDDL Cooperation team founded – HCF, FF, PI + OPC Foundation

2005 FDT Group founded as an International Association

2007 FDI Standardisation project launched

2011 FDI cooperation formed with FDT, FF, HCF, PI, OPC Foundation



The start of Field Device Integration

Announcement at Hannover Fair 2007

March 6th 2007 - FDT Group and EDDL Cooperation Team member organisations agree to work on a unified solution – Field Device Integration – FDI

FDT Group will join the ECT as a voting member

(2007)



Why start this cooperation?

Process Automation end users ask for a single solution

Current FDT and EDDL technologies have partial overlap causing a competitive situation

Current situation is confusing because of conflicting messages

Suppliers face expensive development

Most suppliers are members of both ECT Organization and FDT Group. They must invest in parallel to support both technologies

(2007)



Common objectives

Applicable to any field device communication technology

Applicable for all network topologies.

Backward compatibility with existing EDDL based device descriptions and DTM’s.

Open specification that will become an international standard.

Platform and operating system independent.

(2007)



End user benefits

Single and consistent solution irrespective of supplier to achieve interoperability.

Compatibility with installed base.

Shared strategy and development by all suppliers ensures integration of all devices.

Clear technology direction shared by all suppliers ends uncertainties.

(2007)



FDI Device Package – one per device – the core of FDI

EDDL

Device data

Internal structure

User Interface Plug-ins

“look and feel”

Attachments

Product documents

GSD files

…



EDDL based FDI hosts will support existing EDD’s

FDI Host

New FDI device packages are imported

Existing EDD files can be imported



FDT2 based FDI hosts will support existing DTM’s

FDT2 Host

New FDI device packages are imported using an FDI DTM

Existing DTM’s files continue to be used

Existing EDD files can be imported using an interpreter DTM



Field Device Tool (FDT) platforms

What are they – how do they work?



The FDT Group

The FDT Group formed in 2005

open

independent

non-profit

association of 82 international companies

Owner of the FDT Technology

Responsible for maintenance, further development, and promotion of FDT Technology

Responsible for certification and compliance testing of FDT products

Dedicated to establishing and maintaining FDT Technology as an international standard with broad acceptance within the automation industry

Open to all companies that wish to participate

www.fdtgroup.org



FDT Group members



What is FDT/DTM?

FDT / DTM

FDT = Field Device Tool (frame application)

Follows a published standard specification

DTM = Device Type Manager (device driver)

Compatible with an FDT frame application

Open standardised technology independent of device or system supplier

Independent of device type sensor, actuator, remote I/O, drives, etc.

Full support of installed base

Independent of communication protocol Ethernet, HART, PROFIBUS, Foundation Fieldbus, etc.

Vertical integration by nested communication



How does FDT/DTM technology work?



ProfiBUS connection options



ProfiNET connection options



DTM example - valve positioner



DTM example - motor controller



DTM example - network diagnostics



DTM example - pressure transmitter



Live demo

Using and FDT Frame application – FieldCare – to configure:

PROFIBUS PA devices via a PROFINET Power Hub gateway (Proxy)

PROFINET devices with a direct connection over ethernet
