  • Method and transfer device for transferring data blocks
    Patent number: 11525712
    Abstract: A method for transferring data blocks from a field device to a server, each data block including data describing an operation of the field device during a block time period is provided. The method includes setting a first and a second pointer delimiting a completed time period; and, until a predetermined transfer period elapses: transferring the data blocks having a block time period that is later than the second pointer to the server in a chronological order; and if all data blocks having a block time period that is later than the second pointer have been transferred to the server, transferring the data blocks having a block time period that is earlier than the first pointer to the server in an anti-chronological order. Data blocks can efficiently and reliably be transferred to the server.
