Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a parameterizable automation technology device. The parameterizable automation technology device includes a memory, a wireless communications interface, and a processor. The memory is configured to prestore a device parameter of the parameterizable automation technology device. The wireless communication interface is configured to receive update data to update the prestored device parameter via a communication network. The processor is configured to update the prestored device parameter based on the received update data and to adjust an operation of the parameterizable automation technology device based on the updated prestored device parameter.
Claims17
A parameterizable automation technology device, comprising:
- a memory configured to prestore a device parameter of the parameterizable automation technology device;
- a wireless communications interface configured to receive update data to update the prestored device parameter via a communications network;
- and
- a processor configured to update the prestored device parameter based on the received update data and to adjust an operation of the parameterizable automation technology device based on the updated prestored device parameter, wherein the processor is further configured to check the received update data for data transmission errors and to reject the received update data in response to a data transmission error;
- wherein the memory is partitioned into a data partition and a communication partition;
- wherein the data partition is configured to store one or more of the prestored device parameter, the updated device parameter, or the update data;
- wherein the communication partition is configured to store information about an update data receipt.
A method for the parameterizing of a parameterizable automation technology device, comprising:
- wirelessly receiving update data, configured for updating a prestored device parameter of the parameterizable automation technology device, over a communications network;
- updating the prestored device parameter based on the update data received;
- adjusting an operation of the parameterizable automation technology device based on the updated prestored device parameter;
- checking the received update data for data transmission errors;
- and
- rejecting the received update data in response to a data transmission error;
- storing on a data partition of a memory of the parameterizable automation technology device one or more of:
- the prestored device parameter, the updated device parameter, or the update data;
- and
- storing on a communication partition of the memory information about an update data receipt.
