Standard and Device-specific DD
Standard DD descriptions for function blocks and transducer blocks are maintained by the Fieldbus
Foundation. These descriptions can be used as part of a field device DD by manufacturers to describe
the standard features of their devices. Device-specific descriptions are developed by manufacturers to
describe custom features which are unique to that particular device.
These two types of DDs (the standard and device-specific) can then be combined to provide a
complete DD for the field device.
