Abstract
Example methods and apparatus to transmit device description files to a host are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes communicatively coupling a field device to the host to provision the field device within a process control system, receiving an indication that the host does not include a version of a device description file that corresponds to a version of the field device, accessing the device description file from a memory of the field device, and transmitting the device description file from the field device to the host.
