A system and method for interactively communicating with a field device of an industrial automation system for performing a function in relation to monitoring and controlling an industrial process of a power plant includes a field device is associated with a gateway interface device (GID) including NLP algorithm, and communicatively coupled to an interactive device. The GID receives a first instruction associated with the function in relation to monitoring and controlling the industrial process, in natural language format, and converts the first instruction into a second instruction based on the NLP algorithm, where the second instruction has structured format native to the field device. The GID sends the second instruction to the field device for performing the function, receives an information associated to the function performed by the field device, and sends the information for displaying in the interactive device, the function performed by the field device.
A method for interactively communicating with at least one field device of a plurality of field devices of an industrial automation system for performing at least one function in relation to at least one of monitoring and controlling an industrial process associated to an operation of a process plant, wherein the at least one field device is associated with a gateway interface device (GID) and communicatively coupled to at least one interactive device, wherein the GID comprises at least one natural language processing (NLP) algorithm, the method comprising the GID:
A system of a gateway interface device (GID) and at least one field device of a plurality of field devices in an industrial automation system to interactively communicate with the at least one field device for performing at least one function in relation to at least one of monitoring and controlling an industrial process associated to an operation of a process plant, wherein the at least one field device is communicatively coupled to at least one interactive device, wherein the GID comprises a computational unit comprising at least one natural language processing (NLP) algorithm, a communication unit, and a field device gateway unit associated to each other, and
