DEV_REV and DD Revision/ DD_REV parameters in the Resource Block.
The device is integrated into the FF network as follows:
1. Start the FF configuration program.
2. Download the Cff and device description files (*.ffo, *.sym (for format 4) *ff5, *sy5 (for
format 5) to the system.

Device identification and addressing

FOUNDATION Fieldbus identifies the device using its ID code (Device ID) and automatically
assigns it a suitable field address. The identity code cannot be changed. The device appears in
the network display once you have started the FF configuration program and integrated the
device into the network. The blocks available are displayed under the device name.
If the device description has not yet been loaded, the blocks report "Unknown" or "(UNK)".
