Abstract: A method for servicing a field device of process automation technology. The data exchanged between the field device and a servicing program is by means of at least one protocol, which has basic commands, via which basic functions of the field device can be invoked. Each field device which is compatible with the protocol has these basic functions available to it, and wherein only basic commands of the protocol are used to transfer data between the servicing program and the field device.

Abstract: A method for updating device descriptions for field devices in process automation technology by loading the required descriptions from an external server (S), by means of an application programme, into a controller (for example, PC1; PC2).

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel chiral phosphorus compounds which can be readily prepared from quinoline derivatives as inexpensive starting compounds and have the general formula (I) wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 are chiral or achiral organic residues which are derived from substituted or unsubstituted straight or branched chain or cyclic aliphatic or aromatic groups and which, in the case of the pairs R1/R2 and R4/R5, may be interconnected. Further, the invention relates to methods for the synthesis of chiral phosphorus compounds of general formula (I) and their use as catalyst components in processes for the preparation of optically active products.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for hydrogenating a substrate comprising a carbon-heteroatom double bond, the process comprising the step of reacting the substrate with hydrogen gas in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, wherein the hydrogenation catalyst is a complex of formula (I): R1-10, A and Hal are as defined in the specification. The present invention also provides processes for the preparation of the complex of formula (I) and intermediates thereof.

Abstract: A method for ascertaining a transmissible telegram data length in a HART® fieldbus system. The method comprises the following steps: transmitting a test telegram between a master and a slave via the HART® fieldbus system, wherein the test telegram has a predetermined test data length; checking by the receiver of the test telegram whether the latter was received in its entirety; and determining whether this test data length is transmissible based on the result of the check.

Abstract: A method for operating a field device, which is connected by way of a data bus with a control system, by means of a graphical user interface and a device description file for a field device, the device description file includes two components, a data component and a presentation component, which are loaded together dynamically at run time into a browser, wherein the data component and the presentation component are produced together as a device description file, and the presentation component can be matched exactly to the functionality of the field device. In this way, the operation of a field device is considerably simplified.
