Abstract
Method for producing a bidirectional connection between a device forming a field device and an application in a central facility, wherein a bidirectional connection is produced between the device that forms the field device and the application in a central facility, where a bridge function running on a mobile communication terminal establishes a short-range radio connection with the device, establishes a long-range radio connection with the application in the central facility and establishes a data channel for bidirectional communication between the application in the central facility via the long-range radio connection and the device via the short-range radio interface.
Claims13
A method for establishing a bidirectional connection between a device and an application in a central facility via a bridge function executing on a mobile communication terminal, the method comprising:
- establishing, by the bridge function executing on the mobile communication terminal, a short-range radio connection with the device;
- establishing, by the bridge function executing on the mobile communication terminal, a long-range radio connection with the application in the central facility;
- and
- establishing, by the bridge function executing on the mobile communication terminal, a data channel for bidirectional communication between the application in the central facility via the long-range radio connection and the device via the short-range radio interface;
- wherein devices located in radio range are automatically displayed by the bridge function executing on the communication terminal.
