Thank you

The procedure is the same as it is for HART / WirelessHART. Obtain "device descriptions", ideally from the Emerson website. I tried to find them on the website but failed . . . :( . You will have a small directory of files for a specific device. Using whatever means is allowed (we used a dedicated USB stick) transfer the files from an internet-connected PC to a DeltaV workstation. From the ProPlus or other engineering-capable node, sign in as an administrator and open "DeltaV Explorer", which should load your project's database. If it isn't doing this, you need other help. Open "library" and expand devices definitions. Right-click on "Fieldbus" and choose "add device type". Point the resulting dialog box to the file location (e.g., USB stick). Select the directory containing the files. You will most likley see some warnings about "adding a device type that had not been tested" or words to that effect. I can't tell you to ignore this warning, but DeltaV versions 10 and later have all been certified by FieldComm Group to function with registered (device's) DD's. Consult your LBP if you still feel shy about it. I think the meaning is, if you obtain some nutty device with some shabby DD, it's not Emerson's fault if your system behaves in an unacceptable fashion. I always get the warning even with Emerson brands. Do you think I have ever not clicked "OK"?

Enter "DeltaV" in the search field. Select the DD for the device and your version of DeltaV (e.g.13.3.1).
You can also find certified / tested DD's here:

Sorry I read 3144 - not 3244.
The rev 3 DD should have shipped with your version 12 system . . . I see there's no DD specifically for v12 but we have fieldbus 3244's from 20 years ago that commission fine in 13.3.1.
I would try the ones for version 10. I bet they will work.
Curiously, the 3244 is no longer listed as a registered device on fieldbus.org . . .
