Abstract: A system for providing information for a process, and a method to utilize such system are provided. In particular, a controller is communicatively coupled to at least one smart field device using an open smart communications protocol, and a server is communicatively coupled to the controller. The server is adapted to receive data associated with the smart field device from the controller. The server may transmit the data in a HTML format, or an at least one image which was generated based on the data. For example, the system further may include a computer system, and the server may transmit the data or the image of the data to such computer system. The computer system may also display the data in the HTML format, and/or the image of the data.

Abstract: An arrangement, storage medium and method are provided to associate an Extensible Stylesheet Language (“XSL”) Device Description file with a non-proprietary language Device Description file. Each of the non-proprietary language Device Description file and the XSL Device Description file is associated with a particular type of a field device, and the XSL Device Description file includes a script-type language source code. For example, the non-proprietary language Device Description file can be an Extensible Markup Language Device Description file, and the script-type language source code can include a code associated with a method of implementing the field device and/or a function performed by the field device. Moreover, the non-proprietary language Device Description file and the XSL Device Description file can be converted into a platform-independent page having the script-type language source code embedded therein.
