Despite standardised fieldbuses and existing profiles, the manufacturer-specific functions and features are essential parts of field devices. Manufacturer independent tools have to interact with manufacturer-specific functions and features. That is why so called device descriptions have to be developed and integrated into the commissioning tools. ifak supports field device manufacturers in developing the device descriptions and their integration into the Simatic PDM tool.
