Abstract
A computer-implemented method for configuring a plurality of field devices is provided. The method includes defining a configuration template and mapping the configuration template to a plurality of field devices. The defined configuration template is automatically applied to the plurality of field devices. A method of verifying field device configuration information is also provided.
Claims22
A computer-implemented method for configuring a plurality of field devices, the method comprising:
- defining a configuration template;
- mapping the configuration template to a plurality of field devices;
- and
- automatically applying the defined configuration template to the plurality of field devices.
A computer-implemented method for verifying configuration information of a plurality of field devices, the method comprising:
- accessing a configuration template;
- accessing a map relating the configuration template to a plurality of field devices;
- and
- automatically comparing information stored in the configuration template with field device configuration information for each field device mapped to the configuration.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a storage device coupled to the processor;
- a user interface component configured to generate a user interface that receives a user configuration template and a map relating the user configuration template to a plurality of intelligent field devices;
- and
- wherein the processor is configured to automatically execute an operation on each field device defined in the map based on the defined user configuration template.
