11. An apparatus, comprising: at least one memory operable to store a first device description language source file associated with a field device, the field device operable to operate in a process control system, the first device description language source file describing characteristics of one or more parameters of the field device using a first device description language; and at least one processor operable to: convert the first device description language source file into a second device description language source file, the first and second device description language source files associated with different device description languages, the second device description language source file describing the characteristics of the one or more parameters of the field device using a second device description language; and store the second device description language source file in the at least one memory; wherein the at least one processor is operable to convert the first information into the second information by: parsing the first device description language source file into individual first components; mapping each first component from the first device description language source file to a corresponding second component of a target file that is compliant with the second device description language; and generating the target file using the component mappings by (i) taking each first component, (ii) extracting data from that first component, and (iii) generating the corresponding second component using the extracted data, wherein each second component is compliant with the second device description language; and wherein the first device description language source file is associated with a first communication protocol and the second device description language source file is associated with a second communication protocol.
15. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the field device comprises a wireless field device.
