Method for integrating device-objects into an object-based management system for field devices in automation technology

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for integration of device-objects (DTM1, DTM2, . . . ) in an object-based management system (WS1, WS2, SU) for field devices (F1, F2, . . . ) in automation technology, wherein the device-objects (DTM1, DTM2, . . . ) are used for servicing the field devices, wherein, as the case may be, updated device objects (DTM1new, DTM2new, . . . ) or an updated version of a device-objects library (DoLnew), are/is stored on a physical storage medium (SM), wherein the physical storage medium (SM) is connected with a control/display unit (WS1, WS2, SU), on which a predetermined operating system (OS) is running, into which a frame application (FDT-FRAME) for the device objects (DTM1, DTM2, . . . ) is bound, wherein a program (P) is activated, which makes the updated device objects (DTM1new, DTM2new, . . . ) stored on the physical storage medium (SM) at least partially accessible on a display unit (GUI), as soon as the storage medium (SM) is connected with the control/display unit (WS1, WS2, SU), and wherein, automatically or manually, a dialog is started, with which operating personnel can invoke a selected number of device-objects (DTM1, DTM2, . . . ), and, via the updated device object, or updated device objects. (DTM1, DTM2, . . . ), service a corresponding field device, or corresponding field devices, (F1, F2, . . . ).
