iDTM Unites FDT and EDDL Already Today

摘要

The agony of choice! Up to now, those involved in device integration have had a tough time deciding whether to use EDDL (Electronic Device Description Language) or FDT (Field Device Tool). A lot has been written about the two technologies both process and factory automation are realizing the benefits of FDT and using the technology in their plants. In the meantime, suitable communication DTMs are available for almost every communication hardware version which enable uniting the benefits of FDT and EDDL and guaranteeing the customer openness, freedom of choice and investment protection. However, it will still take some time until FDI is ready for the market. With the smart iDTM solution, users can already benefit from a combination of both technologies today with a more or less "light FDI" version.
