Abstract: A method for remote control of an app for measuring, calibrating, and/or adjusting a sensor in process automation technology includes connecting the sensor to a handheld measuring device having at least one operating button; establishing a data connection from the handheld measuring device to a mobile device, wherein an app is executed on the mobile device; actuating the operating button and transmitting the function or data stored in the operating button to the app of the mobile device via the data connection; and processing the function or data in the app.

Abstract: An apparatus for integrating device objects into a superordinated control unit for field devices in automation technology. A predetermined operating system runs on the control unit, and the control unit communicates via a fieldbus with the field devices. A communication hardware is provided, having a first communication link for connecting to the control unit and a second communication link for connecting to the fieldbus. Associated with the communication hardware is a memory element. The communication hardware is so embodied, that, upon coupling of the communication hardware to the control unit via the first communication link, the frame application is started via the operating system of the control unit and the driver for the communication hardware is installed, so that operating personnel can, via the device objects stored in the memory element and the fieldbus, service the associated field devices.

Abstract: A method for creating a customer-specific setup for a library of device drivers, wherein each device driver is a software module, via which a field device, or a field device type, can be serviced. The method permits creation of an individualized, customer-specific setup for the device driver library. This is achieved by the feature that a DTM library setup is expanded automatically by earlier assembled, customer-specific information.

Abstract: A method for integration of device-objects in an object-based management system for field devices in automation technology, wherein the device-objects are used for servicing the field devices. Updated device objects or an updated version of a device-objects library, are/is stored on a physical storage medium, wherein the physical storage medium is connected with a control/display unit, on which a predetermined operating system is running, into which a frame application for the device objects is bound. A program is activated, which makes the updated device objects stored on the physical storage medium at least partially accessible on a display unit, as soon as the storage medium is connected with the control/display unit, and wherein, automatically or manually, a dialog is started, with which operating personnel can invoke a selected number of device-objects, and, via the updated device object, or updated device objects, service a corresponding field device, or corresponding field devices.

Abstract: An apparatus for automatically registering topology of individual components of a process installation in automation technology. The components include field devices ascertaining or influencing physical and/or chemical, process variables. A superordinated control unit is provided, which communicates with the field devices via a fieldbus protocol conventional in automation technology and via which the field devices can be serviced. A radio tag is associated with each field device. Stored on the radio tag is topology-relevant information of the corresponding field device. A radio tag reader is provided, which registers the topology-relevant information of the radio tags and forwards such to the superordinated control unit.

Abstract: An apparatus for integrating device objects into a superordinated control unit for field devices in automation technology, wherein a predetermined operating system runs on the control unit, the control unit communicates via a fieldbus with the field devices and the device objects serve for servicing the field devices. A communication hardware is provided, having a first communication link for connecting to the control unit and a second communication link for connecting to the fieldbus. Associated with the communication hardware is a memory element, in which the device objects, a driver for the communication hardware and a frame application for the device objects are stored.

Abstract: A method for producing an application-specific installation package from device objects provided via the Internet and for integrating the installation package into an object-based, management, or configuration, system for servicing or monitoring field devices of automation technology. An original installation description file is provided via the Internet, wherein the original installation description file is downloaded onto a computer unit or onto the object-based, management, or configuration, system and started, wherein device objects needed for the installation package are interactively selected via a user interface and stored in the computer unit or in the object-based, management, or configuration, system, wherein the original installation description is copied, wherein the copy of the installation description file is stored in the computer unit or in the object-based, management, or configuration, system, together with the downloaded device objects of the field devices.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for integration of device-objects (DTM1, DTM2, . . . ) in an object-based management system (WS1, WS2, SU) for field devices (F1, F2, . . . ) in automation technology, wherein the device-objects (DTM1, DTM2, . . . ) are used for servicing the field devices, wherein, as the case may be, updated device objects (DTM1new, DTM2new, . . . ) or an updated version of a device-objects library (DoLnew), are/is stored on a physical storage medium (SM), wherein the physical storage medium (SM) is connected with a control/display unit (WS1, WS2, SU), on which a predetermined operating system (OS) is running, into which a frame application (FDT-FRAME) for the device objects (DTM1, DTM2, . . . ) is bound, wherein a program (P) is activated, which makes the updated device objects (DTM1new, DTM2new, . . .

Abstract: A method for installation of objects for a component-based management system for field devices of automation technology, wherein the management system includes a frame application and a plurality of device managers which can run in the frame application, it is checked in the installation of new objects that such are not inconsistent with earlier installations.
