Function blocks (FB) for process control - Part 3: Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL)

It specifies the Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) technology, which enables the integration of real product details using the tools of the engineering life cycle.It also specifies EDDL as a generic language for describing the properties of automation system components. EDDL is capable of describing: device parameters and their dependencies; device functions, for example, simulation mode, calibration; graphical representations, for example, menus; interactions with control devices graphical representations; persistent data store
