We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "EDDL (Electronic Device Description Language)",
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 HART added to Daniel ultrasonic flowmeters from
Emerson Process Management, which we summarised at the time by saying "Emerson Process Management has introduced new HART communication functionality in the Daniel Model 3804 Liquid Ultrasonic Meter and the Daniel SeniorSonic and JuniorSonic Gas
Ultrasonic Meters".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release New development and testing tools from HART from
Hart Communication Foundation: "The HART Communication Foundation announces the release of Version 3.1 of the HART Device Description Integrated Development Environment (DD-IDE), covering DDs for WirelessHART".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Fieldbus Foundation
concerning its Wireless co-operation
- take a look at Wireless co-operation team for FF/HART/Profibus
which says: "The leading automation organizations, Fieldbus Foundation, HART and Profibus, will collaborate on implementation of wireless technology".
Take a look also at the news release from Wireless Industrial Networking Alliance, 'No Wires, No Hype' at ISA EXPO 2007,
as well as The industry gathers in Houston for ISA EXPO 2007 from ISA:Instrumentation Systems and Automation Society,
and WirelessHART standard approved and released from Hart Communication Foundation.
