Abstract: A fill level measurement device including a plurality of field devices each including a microprocessor and a sensor, wherein the microprocessor is configured to generate field device data of one of a plurality of subgroups of field device data based on communication with the sensor, wherein each field device data indicates points of time at which the field device data was generated, wherein each of the plurality of subgroups of field device data corresponds to one of a plurality of data types from a group comprising echo curves, DTM measurements, measurements, events detected by the field device, DTM files and documents.

Abstract: A method to control and manage field devices, a control device, a program element and a machine-readable medium are proposed. The method includes a first step of importing field device data comprising several subgroups of field device data. In a second step the points in time are detected at which the respective subgroup of imported field device data is created. In a third step each subgroup of imported field device data is assigned to a respective field device. Furthermore, in a fourth step a first group of subgroups of imported field device data is assigned to a first data type and in a fifth step a second group of subgroups of imported field device data is assigned to a second data type. Finally, the subgroups of imported field device data are displayed graphically in a diagram as a function of the points in time at which they were created and as a function of their data type.

Abstract: An Internet-based fill-level measurement value and diagnostic information polling system includes several field devices, a central server and a processing unit that is connected to the server by way of the internet. In response to a user inquiry the server generates a certificate and an associated data object that characterizes the data that may be polled by the user. In response to an inquiry by the user, with which inquiry the certificate is sent along to the server, the server automatically transmits the requested data to the user if a check of the certificate shows that the user is authorized to receive this.
