Migration
During migration to R400, EDDL constructs are ignored. Therefore, you need to
manually import the latest DD files after migrating to R400. For more information on
importing of DD files, see Creating a Fieldbus device type from vendor DD
.
The process of importing the DD files enables interpreting the EDDL constructs along
with Conditionals.
ATTENTION
The DD files must have the latest EDDL constructs to make use of the
additional features, which are supported by the Experion host.
There is no limitation on the number of conditionals for the Experion host
to support.
Experion host supports version 1.9 of Device Capability File (.CCF) files.
Use the following procedure to prepare a device before migrating the system to a new
software release or moving the device to another Link. All the illustrations used in the
procedure are for example purposes only.
