Abstract: A method for remotely servicing a field device of automation technology located in a first network secured by a first firewall, wherein remote servicing occurs via a servicing device associated with a second network secured by a second firewall comprising the steps of: establishing a first communication connection between the field device and a gateway associated with the first network; establishing a second communication connection; reporting of the first gateway; granting a unique identifier by a broker server for the first communication connection; transmitting the unique identifier to a second gateway associated with the second network; establishing a third communication connection between the second gateway and the broker server using the unique identifier; and establishing a communication connection between the second gateway and the first gateway, wherein: the broker server logically connects the second communication connection and the third communication connection with one another, so that communicat

Abstract: A method for providing device-specific information of a field device of automation technology and/or for servicing a field device, wherein a web server is integrated in the field device at least a part of the device description describing the field device is compiled/interpreted into a field-device-specific software code for the web server, and, on the basis of the field-device-specific software code, there are presented on a display unit dynamically produced, device-specific, web pages, via which service personnel are provided device-specific information, and/or via which the field device is serviced by service personnel.

Abstract: A method for operating an object-based configuration system CS for field devices of automation technology, with a frame application FA, which serves for managing and instantiating a plurality of objects, wherein, to individual groups of device objects, field device types are assigned, which enable, as device managers, a configuration of the corresponding field device type. A first main object MO-1 is provided, which makes available a first object set OS-1 with device objects for a plurality of device types and instantiates, with the help of a first control engine, via an identifier ID, device objects of the first object set, in order to produce device managers for these field device types. Besides the first main object MO-1, a second main object MO-2 is provided, which has a second object set OS-2, wherein individual device objects of the second object set OS-2 are updated device objects of the first object set OS 1.
