  • Method for parameterizing a process automation field device by simulating the acyclic services
    Patent number: 8614620
    Abstract: In a method for parametering a field device of process automation technology, wherein the field device is connected via a bus system with a control unit, parameter values are packaged in telegrams of cyclic services and transmitted to the field device whose parameter values are to be changed. No acyclic services are required for changing parameter values.

  • Determining device-internal parameter addresses from fieldbus-specific parameter addresses of a field device
    Patent number: 8219790
    Abstract: A field device of process automation technology containing a plurality of parameters, with which are associated device-internal parameter addresses. The field device is connectable to a fieldbus having a fieldbus-specific parameter addressing system. In such case, the device-internal parameter addresses of the plurality of parameters are determinable by application of a generic mathematical function to belonging fieldbus-specific parameter addresses formed according to the fieldbus-specific parameter addressing system.

  • METHOD FOR PROVIDING AN OPERATING MENU FOR A FIELD DEVICE OF PROCESS AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY
    Publication number: 20110302511
    Abstract: A method for providing an operating menu (OM) for a field device (FD) of process automation technology, wherein the operating menu (OM) is displayed on a display unit of a servicing device (SD) remote from the field device (FD) by means of a web browser (WB). Settings of the field device (FD) are editable via the operating menu (OM); wherein a number of different operating menus (OM) are available by means of a web server (WS), especially a web server (WS) integrated in the field device (FD); and wherein one of the available operating menus (OM) is selected, especially by a user, via the web browser (WB).
