EDDL Files
T
he ST100A Series EDDL (Electronic Device Description Language) files are support files that provide an extended description of each
object in the Virtual Field Device (VFD), and provide information needed for a control system or host to understand the meaning of the data
in the VFD including the human interface. The EDDL file can be thought as a “driver” for the device.
Loading the DD Files to the 475 Field Communicator
Use the “Easy Upgrade Utility” from EMERSON to load the DDPs into the Field Communicator. Below is the procedure for how to load DD
files into the 475-Field communicator.
Open the Field Communicator Easy Upgrade Utility program and click Utilities on the left hand menu. Select Import DDs from a local
source. Then select the FCI files from the resulting List dialog and click on OK. See Figure 56 below.

Service Data O
peration
Shown below is example service information as provided by the Emerson 475 HART communicator with FCI’s DD files loaded. The same
information seen by the 475 is shown in the DCS (Distributed Control System) when the ST80/ST80L HART DD files are loaded. The
screens shown below are a subset of the total 475 HART communicator information for the ST80/ST80L.
The ST100A Series uses the same DD files as the ST80/ST80L. The handheld communicator screens will, therefore,
show both ST80 and ST100A. ST100A-specific differences are noted in the text below.
