EDDL
Electronic device Description Language (EDDL) technology is used by major
manufacturers to describe the information that is accessible in devices and it helps to
define universal visualization information for the devices. The EDDL technology for FF
Devices in Control Builder appears in the DD View tab. The DD View of the device and
device function blocks are based on the visualization data present in the DD files.
DD View is available in configuration form of Project mode, Monitoring mode, and in
PDE.
For more information, refer to the Parameter Definition Editor Reference.
