  • Patent number: 10698389
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a system for optimizing the operation of a plurality of field devices in an automation technology plant. The method comprises: ascertaining application information and device types of field devices, wherein the application information describes the application of the respective field device; classifying the application information and storing the classified application information; ascertaining parameter sets from each of the plurality of field devices, wherein the parameter sets comprise multiple parameters and each parameter is assigned a parameter value or a parameter value range, and each field device has at least one current parameter set and at least one standard parameter set, and storing the parameter sets; comparing the current parameter sets with the standard parameter sets to determine actually used parameters of a device type for an application; and operating the field device on the basis of the actually used parameters.

  • Publication number: 20190011906
    Abstract: The invention describes a method and a system for maintenance of at least one of a plurality of field devices in a plant of automation technology, comprising a plurality of field devices; a database for storing particular device types of the plurality of field devices, diagnostic reports of the plurality of field devices, failure pictures, measures applied in the past for removing a failure, which has occurred, and success evaluations for the particular, stored measures; and a computing unit, which accesses the database and can read out, store and/or associate data there, as well as creates success evaluations and compares new diagnostic reports with the failure pictures stored in the database and displays a proposal of a measure appropriate therefor and its success evaluation.
