- Many Profibus devices use DDL Technology
22
EDDL Extensions Validation

• Existing DD DD Cooperation Enhancements are a
  powerful combination!
• EUAC Recommendation
• Complete DD Cooperation Phase 1 without delay!

We want these features!
23
Gap Analysis and Prioritization

• Second Review Conclusion
• Some further enhancements are needed to cover the
  few remaining applications.

24
Gap Analysis and Prioritization

• Further Enhancements (in priority order)
• MUST for Phase 2
• Configuration Improvements
• Enhancements to procedures for calibrating,
  diagnosing, or maintaining field devices
• Access to more than one block at a time for
  Configuration
• Data Retention
• Large reference data base
• Look up tables with permanent retention
• Product information not in the Device Description
  (referenced)

25
EUAC Conclusions and Recommendations

• Existing DD DD Cooperation Enhancements are a
  powerful combination!
• EUAC Recommends completion of DD Cooperation
  Phase 1 without delay.
• Further enhancements needed for remaining
  applications are prioritized.
• EUAC Recommends that the DD Cooperation Team
  create a Phase 2 Technical Appendix to address
  prioritized enhancements.
• EUAC will continue to monitor EDDL activities,
  provide support as needed, and update Board as
  required.

26
Summary

• The EUAC requests that the Fieldbus Foundation
  Board of Directors accept the EUAC
  recommendations including completion of Phase 1
  without delay and authorize the Foundation to
  request the DD Cooperation Team to begin work on
  a Phase 2 Technical Appendix.
