Level 1 consists of Universal Parameters that define common attributes such as Tag,
Revision, and Mode. All blocks must include Universal Parameters.
Level 2 consists of Function Block Parameters that define parameters for all standard
Function Blocks including the standard Resource Block.
Level 3 consists of Transducer Block Parameters that define parameters for the standard
Transducer block. In some cases, the Transducer Block specification may add parameters
to the standard Resource Block.
The first three levels are the Device Descriptions provided by the Fieldbus Foundation.
Level 4 is the Manufacturer Specific Parameters that define the parameters a
manufacturer has added to the standard Function Block and Transducer Block
parameters. These added parameters will be included in the DD supplied by the
manufacturer.
