An Electronic Device Description (EDD) contains all device parameter(s) of an automation system component. The technology used to describe an EDD is called Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL). The EDDL provides a set of scalable basic language elements to handle simple, complex or modular devices. The EDDL is a descriptive language based on an ASCII format with clear separation between data and program.
