  • Patent number: 11644827
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for improving the measuring performance of automation field devices, wherein each of the field devices determines a process variable using a measuring algorithm and is exposed to measurable environmental influences. The method includes capturing the calibration data of the field devices and capturing an item of environmental information of the field devices at defined time intervals; storing the environmental information, the calibration data, and a time stamp in a database; selecting a group of field devices which determine a process variable using the same measuring algorithm and which are exposed to the same environmental influences; correlating the environmental information and calibration data captured over time; creating a mathematical model relating the calibration data and the environmental information; adapting the measuring algorithm on the basis of the model; and transmitting the adapted measuring algorithm to all field devices in the group.

  • Patent number: 8782312
    Abstract: A method for data transmission by telegram via a fieldbus of process automation technology, wherein information is transmitted via the fieldbus in the form of data in at least one telegram, and wherein the information, especially the same information, is transmitted in the at least one telegram in a first data format and in a second data format, wherein the first data format differs from the second data format.
