The Device Description Integrated Development Environment (DD-IDE) converts the source Device Description Language (DDL) file into the device description binary format for distribution with a field device. The DD-IDE contains a built in Tokenizer.
The DD-IDE provides many important features to speed device development:
provides a test DD application to test your tokenized DD files with a simulation file or with a live device.
*IMPORTANT NOTE* - The DD-IDE does NOT include the DD Library that is used to write DD's. This must be purchased separately.
The DD Services Toolkit is a comprehensive source code library that makes it easy for host suppliers to decode DD binaries and access DD information via the host system. Its source code library provides several convenience functions to make it easier for a system supplier to develop DD-based applications. The DD Services Toolkit also supports the enhanced EDDL language elements. It removes the burden of decoding the DD binary file by an application.
The DD Library contains DD source code that device developers can import and use to build the device description. The source code for all standard FOUNDATION Fieldbus parameters and blocks is included, in addition to the archives of all registered CFFs and DD files. Manufacturers only need to implement custom block and other manufacturer-specific additional parameters. Developers may need to purchase the DD Library for use with items such as the DD-IDE, DD Services and the Host Test Kit.

The H1 and HSE Interoperability Test Kits (ITK) verify the functionality of a device with the FOUNDATION Fieldbus's Function Block Specifications. These test kits include all hardware and software required to ensure a manufacturer's complete device interoperability; they are identical to the official registration testing completed by the FieldComm Group. The kits are excellent tools for troubleshooting and debugging H1 and HSE devices. Source code for the test cases is included.The H1 and HSE test kits tests some of the most cutting edge features of FOUNDATION Fieldbus, including FOUNDATION for Remote Operations Management (ROM) and FOUNDATION for Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF).
