| 20110153786 | Method for offline servicing of a field device of automation technology - A method for offline servicing of a field device (FD) of automation technology by means of a service unit (SU), wherein a web server is associated with the field device (FD) and a web browser is associated with the service unit (SU), wherein the method has the following steps: the service unit (SU) connects via the web browser with the web server of the field device (FD) to be serviced; a control logic (CL) made available by the web server is loaded into the web browser; the control logic (CL) starts the download of offline web pages, which are present in the web server or are produced by it, and loads the web pages and the configuration data of the field device (FD) into the service unit (SU); and the current configuration data are, with involvement of the web pages and the loaded configuration data, edited or created offline in the service unit (SU). | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110125295 | Method for providing device-specific information of a field device of automation technology - 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. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20090326852 | Method for Testing Device Descriptions for Field Devices of Automation Technology - In a method for testing device descriptions for field devices of automation technology, a finite state machine is produced from a device description to serve as a basis for a test script. For testing the device description, the test script is executed, with data being sent to and received from the device description. In such case, it is tested whether desired values set in the test script agree with actual values delivered e.g. from the field device. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20090319062 | Apparatus for automatically registering topology of individual components of a process installation in automation technology - An apparatus for automatically registering topology of individual components of a process installation in automation technology. The components include field devices ascertaining or influencing physical and/or chemical, process variables. A superordinated control unit is provided, which communicates with the field devices via a fieldbus protocol conventional in automation technology and via which the field devices can be serviced. A radio tag is associated with each field device. Stored on the radio tag is topology-relevant information of the corresponding field device. A radio tag reader is provided, which registers the topology-relevant information of the radio tags and forwards such to the superordinated control unit. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20090319061 | Apparatus for integrating device objects into a super ordinated control unit - An apparatus for integrating device objects into a superordinated control unit for field devices in automation technology, wherein a predetermined operating system runs on the control unit, the control unit communicates via a fieldbus with the field devices and the device objects serve for servicing the field devices. A communication hardware is provided, having a first communication link for connecting to the control unit and a second communication link for connecting to the fieldbus. Associated with the communication hardware is a memory element, in which the device objects, a driver for the communication hardware and a frame application for the device objects are stored. The communication hardware is so embodied, that, upon coupling of the communication hardware to the control unit via the first communication link, the frame application is started via the operating system of the control unit and the driver for the communication hardware is installed, so that operating personnel can, via the device objects stored in the memory element and the fieldbus, service the associated field devices. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20090177970 | Method for online servicing of a field device of automation technology - A method for online servicing of a field device of automation technology with a servicing program running on a computer unit connected with the field device via a communication connection. The servicing program requires a device description for display of field-device-specific servicing elements or menu structures, and it is provided that the field device is opened via the device description and field-device-specific servicing elements or menu structures for transmitting from the field device to the device description, so that the field-device-specific servicing elements or menu structures can be displayed with the help of the servicing program. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090164989 | Method for producing and application-specific installation package from device objects - A method for producing an application-specific installation package from device objects provided via the Internet and for integrating the installation package into an object-based, management, or configuration, system for servicing or monitoring field devices of automation technology. An original installation description file is provided via the Internet, wherein the original installation description file is downloaded onto a computer unit or onto the object-based, management, or configuration, system and started, wherein device objects needed for the installation package are interactively selected via a user interface and stored in the computer unit or in the object-based, management, or configuration, system, wherein the original installation description is copied, wherein the copy of the installation description file is stored in the computer unit or in the object-based, management, or configuration, system, together with the downloaded device objects of the field devices. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090157925 | Method for integrating device-objects into an object-based management system for field devices in automation technology - The invention relates to a method for integration of device-objects (DTM | 06-18-2009 |
| 20080313629 | Method for installation of objects for a component-based management system for field devices of automation technology - A method for installation of objects for a component-based management system for field devices of automation technology, wherein the management system includes a frame application and a plurality of device managers which can run in the frame application, it is checked in the installation of new objects that such are not inconsistent with earlier installations. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20080288613 | Method for operating an object-based configuration system for field devices of automation technology - 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.
