Devices and Integration in Enterprise Systems

IEC 61987-11:2016 provides:
- a characterisation of industrial process measuring equipment (device type dictionary) for integration in the Common Data Dictionary (CDD), and
- generic structures for operating lists of properties (OLOP) and device lists of properties (DLOP) of measuring equipment in conformance with IEC 61987-10.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) The classification in Table A.1 has been amended to reflect the changes in the classification scheme of process measuring equipment in the CDD due to the development of IEC 61987-14, IEC 61987-15 and IEC 61987-16.
b) Annex A has become “informative”.

IEC 61987-10:2009 provides a method of standardizing the descriptions of process control devices, instrumentation and auxiliary equipment as well as their operating environments and operating requirements (for example, measuring point specification data). The aims of this standard are:
- to define a common language for customers and suppliers through the publication of Lists of Properties (LOPs),
- to optimize workflows between customers and suppliers as well as in processes such as engineering, development and purchasing within their own organizations,
- to reduce transaction costs.
The standard describes industrial-process device types and devices using structured lists of properties and makes the associated properties available in a component data dictionary. This bilingual version, published in 2010-11, corresponds to the English version. The French version of this standard has not been voted upon.

IEC 61987-1:2006 defines a generic structure in which product features of industrial-process measurement and control equipment with analogue or digital output should be arranged, in order to facilitate the understanding of product descriptions when they are transferred from one party to another. It applies to the production of catalogues of process measuring equipment supplied by the manufacturer of the product and helps the user to formulate his requirements.

IEC 61804-4:2020 specifies EDD interpretation for EDD applications and EDDs to support EDD interoperability. This document is intended to ensure that field device developers use the EDDL constructs consistently and that the EDD applications have the same interpretations of the EDD. It supplements the EDDL specification to promote EDDL application interoperability and improve EDD portability between EDDL applications.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition was developed by merging material from multiple variants of existing EDDL specifications including those from FieldComm Group (Foundation™ Fieldbus , HART® ), PROFIBUS™ Nutzerorganisation e.V. (PNO), and ISA100_Wireless™ Compliance Institute (ISA100 WCI). When a profile deviation exists, it is now indicated in the context where the related deviation is found. As a result, the formatting and numbering of this edition may be different from any of the individual specifications from which this edition was derived.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
• communication profiles ISA100 and GPE were added;
• description of rules for optimized-column-width layout have been added;
• description of the concatenation of labels and help was added;
• color banding for meter type charts was added.

IEC 61804-3:2020 specifies the electronic device description language (EDDL) technology, which enables the integration of real product details using the tools of the engineering life cycle.
This document specifies EDDL as a generic language for describing the properties of automation system components. EDDL is capable 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 used to create electronic device description (EDD) for e.g. concrete devices, common usable profiles or libraries. This EDD is used with appropriate tools to generate an interpretative code to support parameter handling, operation, and monitoring of automation system components such as remote I/Os, controllers, sensors, and programmable controllers. Tool implementation is outside the scope of this document.
This document specifies the semantic and lexical structure in a syntax-independent manner. A specific syntax is defined in Annex A, but it is possible to use the semantic model also with different syntaxes.
IEC 61804-4 specifies EDD interpretation for EDD applications and EDDs to support EDD interoperability.
IEC 61804-5 specifies the EDDL builtin library and provides the profiles of the various fieldbuses.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition was developed by merging material from multiple variants of existing EDDL specifications including those from FieldComm Group (FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus , HART® ), PROFIBUS™ Nutzerorganisation e.V. (PNO), and ISA100_Wireless™ Compliance Institute (ISA100 WCI). Any places where there may be a profile deviation are now indicated in the context where the related deviation is found. As a result, the formatting and numbering of this edition may be different from any of the individual specifications from which this edition was derived.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
• Communication profiles ISA100 and GPE were added.
• EDD Identification Information has a new LAYOUT_TYPE attribute.
• New construct SEMANTIC_MAP was added.
• CLASS attribute values LOCAL_A and LOCAL_B were added.
• Extended LIST functionality to support device managed lists.

IEC 61804-2:2018 specifies FB (function blocks) by using the result of a harmonization work as regards several elements.
a) The device model which defines the components of an IEC 61804-2 conformant device.
b) Conceptual specifications of FBs for measurement, actuation and processing. This includes general rules for the essential features to support control, whilst avoiding details which stop innovation as well as specialization for different industrial sectors.
c) The electronic device description (EDD) technology, which enables the integration of real product details using the tools of the engineering life cycle.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2006 and integrates parts of IEC 61804-1 which was withdrawn in January 2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) added command communication mapping in Clause 8;
b) moved and reword compatibility level definition from IEC 62804-1 to new Annex B and terms and definitions;
c) added proxy concept in new Annex C.
