  • Managing field devices having different device description specifications in a process control system
    Patent number: 7317952
    Abstract: According to an aspect of the present invention, device descriptions specified using different device description (DD) specifications are converted (represented) into a single format. In an embodiment, the single format corresponds to extended markup language (XML). The device description in the single format is then examined to provide a user interface for management of the corresponding field devices. Due to such use of a common format, integration of field devices (into a management system) having device description defined according to a new device description specification, may be simplified.

  • Simplifying integration of field devices accessible by different network protocols into a field device management system
    Publication number: 20060218311
    Abstract: A common interface is provided using which an application layer interfaces with a device corresponding to each type of control network protocol. Substantial portion of challenge in integrating management of field devices accessible by a new control network protocol entails development of protocol specific portions which are responsive to procedures according to the common interface. Due to the separation of the control network protocol specific portions and upper layers using the common interface, the integration is simplified.
