We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "EDD (Electronic Device Description)",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Processingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release ISA publishes EDDL standard from
ISA:Instrumentation Systems and Automation Society, which we summarised at the time by saying "The ISA-SP104 committee has completed adoption as an American National Standard of the generic electronic device description language (EDDL) specified by
IEC 61804 for device integration".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release ISA SP104 committee releases EDDL draft from
ISA:Instrumentation Systems and Automation Society: "The ISA new standards committee that is working to adopt the generic device description language specified by IEC 61804 for device integration has announced the release of their first draft for
ballot".
In July 2006, we covered the news from Rotork Controls
concerning its Rotork Profibus Highway Termination Module
- take a look at 'Bumpless' Profibus Highway Termination Module
which says: "The new Rotork Highway Termination Module provides an easy means of connection to Profibus highways, with switchable termination resistors and a 'Bumpless' isolation mechanism for easy disconnection".
Take a look also at the news release from Profibus Group, Profibus control for lustrous pigment production,
as well as SP104 Committee to focus on EDDL from ISA:Instrumentation Systems and Automation Society,
and Comparisons of EDDL and FDT/DTM concepts from Siemens Automation and Drives.
