| 20080320402 | Device and Method for Generating a User Interface Configuration for a Field Device - A device for generating a user interface configuration for at least one field device, measuring device, in particular a sensor or actuator, is provided. The device comprises a database and a user interface generating device, wherein the database is designed to store a plurality of device data for the field device, and wherein the user interface generating device is equipped to generate a user interface description file that is allocated to the at least one field device in a predeterminable user interface description language. The user interface description language is selectable from at least two user interface description languages. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090083444 | Method for the Automatic Time Synchronisation of Devices in Network-Based Systems - A method is based on a communication- and data network for the automatic time synchronisation of field devices, namely fill-level measuring devices and pressure measuring devices as well as field-device control units. The method comprises the steps of: determining a current time value by the field device or by the field-device control unit, and providing a desired value in a central server. Furthermore, the method comprises the following steps: comparing the current time value with the desired value, and setting the current time value to the desired value when the desired value differs from the current time value by more than a predetermined threshold value. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090303898 | Determining of Telegram Lengths - Described is a method for determining a telegram length in an operating apparatus for communicating between the operating apparatus and a field device via a network. The method comprises composing a first telegram in the operating apparatus. The first telegram comprises a predeterminable first telegram length, and the composed first telegram is despatched via the network to the field device. After the first telegram has been despatched, the operating apparatus waits for the receipt of a second telegram, which second telegram is received by the operating apparatus via the network. After successful receipt of the second telegram, the first telegram length is increased by a predeterminable value. Increasing the value takes place until receiving the second telegram fails. After the receipt of the second telegram has failed, the first telegram length that has resulted in successfully receiving the second telegram is provided. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100023313 | Image Generation for Use in Multilingual Operation Programs - An image with text in a selected language for use in a multilingual operating program for a fill-level measuring device or a pressure measuring device is generated in that a text-free image is overlaid with the corresponding text modules in the selected language. This does not require changing the image. The overlay is controlled by means of a control file. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100121999 | Generating of a Device Description for a Measuring Device - A method for generating a device description for a measuring apparatus in a target field bus protocol is described. The method comprises the reception of a first device description of the apparatus. The first device description of the apparatus comprises at least one variable. The at least one variable is related to a storage cell of the apparatus. The target field bus protocol is selected from a plurality of field bus protocols, and at least one block is formed from the at least one variable. The at least one block has a maximum block size that corresponds to the smallest maximum block size of at least two field bus protocols of the plurality of field bus protocols. The maximum block size can be transmitted via a field bus with a single request when the respective field bus protocol is used. Subsequently, the at least one block is provided as device description for the apparatus in the target field bus protocol. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100299629 | PROCESS FOR DISPLAYING A PORTION OF A HISTORY GRAPH SELECTED BY A USER - The invention relates to a process for displaying a portion of a history graph selected by a user with an interactive element belonging to a computer-supported user interface with a graphic display, where the graphic data pertaining to the history graph is stored in a data storage. In accordance with the invention, a portion of the history graph which is expanded or augmented relative to the portion selected by the user is established from the graphic data, such that the portion selected by the user is surrounded by and simultaneously lies at the center of the associated expanded portion of the history graph. The graphic data of the expanded portion of the history graph is provided to the user interface, and the portion selected by the user is displayed on the graphic user interface in the form of a display section of the associated expanded portion of the history graph. | 11-25-2010 |
