Description (EDD) files for the fieldbus device either on a disk supplied by the
manufacturer or downloaded from the vendor's web site. This means you can
make a device block type without being connected to a device. You can skip
this procedure, if a block for the given device type already exists in the
Control Builder
Library database.
The DD files are normally stored in a directory called Release. This directory
must include these three files:
The *.FFO file is the DD binary, or *.FF5 file is the EDD binary file
The *.SYM file is the device symbol file
The *.CFF file is the device capability file.
ATTENTION
With R400, Experion supports DD files and EDD files and continues to
process the DD to create a device block type in the Control Builder library
