Techniques for generating user interfaces (UIs) for field devices on a host device are described. A field device driver installed on the host device transmits a request for UI configuration to a field device. The field device includes a plurality of sets of UI parameters associated with configuration of the UI. The field device is configured to select a set of UI parameters from the plurality of sets of UI parameters based on application information provided to the field device. The field device driver receives the set of UI parameters from the field device in response to the request. Based on the set of UI parameters, the host device configures and generates the UI.
