Unified solution for device integration
The EDDL Cooperation Team (ECT) and the FDT Group have agreed to combine their efforts and work towards a unified solution for device integration that is compatible with both technologies.
The agreement eliminates double efforts for users and vendors and preserves backward compatibility and operating system independence. It is based on the upcoming OPC UA technology, providing EDDL-based integration with the possibility for integrating software applications for highly complex requirements.
As part of this agreement, the FDT Group will join the ECT as its newest member.
Future developments will use a subset of the OPC UA technology within a client-server architecture. In addition, both parties have agreed to consolidate the advantages of FDT and EDDL technologies.
