In recent years, field devices and equipment supporting digital technologies have become widely adopted in the process industries and have proven to provide several benefits to customers. Digital devices/equipment provide a lot of data about the operating environment, which lead to several useful applications that prevent losses/disruptions, enhance quality and reliability, and reduce maintenance costs.

Open standards provide customers with freedom of choice with the ability for a system and a device to be from different manufacturers.

Long gone are the days when a customer’s choice of devices was limited by the choice of the system.

This has not only created a more open and competitive marketplace which reduces costs, but has also led to increased innovation, allowing field devices to be more complex and smarter than ever.

Two industry initiatives, EDDL and FDT-DTM, are emerging to address the drawbacks.

This Honeywell white paper will examine these technologies and provide customers with recommendations on what they should expect from their suppliers.
