EDDL Files
The ST 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.
FCI provides two types of files: the standard EDDL files, and the Emerson 375 and 475 Communicator DD files.
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 then and click OK. See Figure 27 below.

Service Data Operation
The Service Data functions are organized into 3 areas:
1. ST51 Product Family Basic Setup
2. ST51 Product Family Configuration
3. ST51 Product Family Factory Calibration Limits
Shown below is service information as seen through 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 ST51 Product Family HART DD files are loaded.
