  • Patent number: 10459418
    Abstract: Techniques for assessing and presenting differences between the current commissioning data of a set of process control devices within a process plant and the respective baseline or defined commissioning parameters of the set of process control devices. According to embodiments, systems and methods may obtain the current commissioning data from the set of process control devices and access baseline parameters corresponding to the commissioning data. The systems and methods may compare the current commissioning data to the baseline parameters to determine a set of differences, and present, via a user interface, the set of differences for review by an administrator. In reviewing the set of differences, the administrator may facilitate different functionalities including rebaselining or reconfiguring process control devices.
    Type: Grant
