  • Patent number: 10838385
    Abstract: Method for automatic switching of a communication resistor of a HART device in or out, wherein the method comprises steps as follows: transmitting a test signal on an electrical current loop; reading from the electrical current loop a test voltage signal, which is based on the transmitted test signal; comparing the test voltage signal with a reference signal; connecting the communication resistor into the electrical current loop when the test voltage signal exceeds the reference signal.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180364685
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing a generic diagnosis model at a node of an automation network, wherein the automation network has multiple subordinate field bus segments, each having multiple field bus subscribers, connected to the node and the method comprises the following steps: provision of specific diagnosis information by the field bus subscribers of the respective field bus segment; combination of the specific diagnosis information provided by the field bus subscribers at the node; transfer of all combined diagnosis information to the generic diagnosis model, wherein the specific diagnosis information is additionally enriched with meta information, so that the generic diagnosis model can be used to access specific diagnosis information of the respective field bus subscriber.
