Method for improving the measuring performance of an automation field device to be configured

A method for improving the measuring performance of a field device which is to be configured, is installed in a defined application and determines or monitors at least one defined physical or chemical process variable in an automation installation, having the following method steps:

• a plurality of field devices which determine or monitor different physical or chemical process conditions in different applications and under different environmental conditions prevailing at the respective measuring positions of the field devices are configured or parameterized by means of a configuration tool,
• the configuration data, the information relating to the respective applications and the information relating to the environmental conditions of the individual field devices prevailing at the respective measurement positions are stored in a central data memory as training data,
• the training data are made available to an adaptive computing program, which uses at least one artificial intelligence method,
• for the purpose of configuring or parameterizing the field device to be configured, current information relating to the particular application and the environmental conditions prevailing at the measuring position of the field device to be configured are made available to the adaptive computing program,
• on the basis of the current information, configuration data the adaptive computing program provides the field device to be configured with configuration data on the basis of the plurality of training data, which configuration data are matched to the particular application taking into account the environmental conditions prevailing at the measuring position of the field device to be configured.
