ISA 61804-3

This part of IEC 61804 specifies the Electronic DeviceDescription Language (EDDL) technology, which enables theintegration of real product details using the tools of theengineering life cycle.

This standard specifies EDDL as a generic language fordescribing the properties of automation system components. EDDL iscapable of describing

• device parameters and their dependencies;

• device functions, for example, simulation mode,calibration;

• graphical representations, for example, menus;

• interactions with control devices

• graphical representations

– enhanced user interface

– graphing system

• persistent data store.

EDDL is to be used to create Electronic Device Description(EDD). This EDD is used with appropriate tools to generateinterpretative code to support parameter handling, operation, andmonitoring of automation system components such as remote I/Os,controllers, sensors, and programmable controllers. Toolimplementation is outside the scope of this standard.

This standard specifies the semantic and lexical structure in asyntax-independent manner. A specific syntax is defined in Annex A,but it is possible to use the semantic model also with differentsyntaxes.

NOTE 1 The EDDL may also be used for the description of productproperties in other domains. The EDDL and the device-related EDD isapplicable to industrial automation.

NOTE 2 Industrial automation may include devices such as genericdigital and analog input/output modules, motion controllers, humanmachine interfaces, sensors, closed-loop controllers, encoders,hydraulic valves, and programmable controllers.

This International Standard satisfies the requirements of Clause9 of IEC 61804-1.
