Method for monitoring and controlling field devices, control device, program elements and machine-readable medium

Abstract

A method to control and manage field devices, a control device, a program element and a machine-readable medium are proposed. The method includes a first step of importing field device data comprising several subgroups of field device data. In a second step the points in time are detected at which the respective subgroup of imported field device data is created. In a third step each subgroup of imported field device data is assigned to a respective field device. Furthermore, in a fourth step a first group of subgroups of imported field device data is assigned to a first data type and in a fifth step a second group of subgroups of imported field device data is assigned to a second data type. Finally, the subgroups of imported field device data are displayed graphically in a diagram as a function of the points in time at which they were created and as a function of their data type.
