Configuration Method for a Wiring System

Abstract

A method (100) for configuring a wireless connection (30) between a control component (10) and a first field component (20) of a wiring system (11). Circuit information (40) of the wiring system (11) is first provided. A wired connection (42) between the control component (10) and the first field component (20) is then captured. A first radio network address (12) is then assigned to the control component (10), wherein the first radio network address (12) corresponds to a first end (46) of the wired connection (42). Similarly, a second radio network address (22) is assigned to the first field component (20), wherein the second radio network address (22) corresponds to a second end (48) of the wired connection (42). Linkage information (50) that includes the first and second radio network addresses (12, 22) is then provided to the control component (10) to define a wireless connection (30) between the control component (10) and the first field component (20).

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
