What is an EB file?

EB files mostly belong to SCAPS. The EB file extension is used for specialized data files in two main areas.

  • Emerson DeltaV Entity Block Files: These files contain configuration data for process control systems. They are used to manage entity blocks in distributed control environments, linked with systems like Honeywell Experion PKS and ABB Freelance databases, and are sometimes called EasyBrowse files. Visit this page for further details.
