FDI DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
FDI device packages make it easier for automation suppliers to develop and integrate intelligent devices, because suppliers only need to create a single, unified package for each intelligent device that can work with all host systems and tools including FDT based hosts. This reduces overall development costs, while preserving and expanding existing functionality. FDI Tools are available for FOUNDATION Fieldbus, HART, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, OPC UA, Ethernet IP and Modbus protocols.
FDI & Unified EDDL Technical Specifications
The FDI Technical Specifications are sold as a collection of 19 documents that specify the different aspects of the technology.
FDI Common Host Components
The FDI Common Host Components ‐ EDD Engine and UI Engine ‐ ensure that an FDI Device Package or an existing EDD behaves in the same way in various FDI or EDD host system architectures.
FDI EDD Engine X
FDI EDD Engine X provides application developers an OS-independent code base for integration with their specific platform, which could be Android or Linux environments.
FDIsync Library
FDIsync Library provides a single interface to download all of the currently Registered device support files for FOUNDATION Fieldbus and HART instrumentation, including the Device Descriptions and FDI Device Packages.
FDIsync for Developers
FDIsync for Developers includes an API that provides a modernized delivery system for Registered FDI Device Packages, FOUNDATION Fieldbus DD/CFF files and HART EDD files. FDIsync Library subscription is included.
