Abstract
In a method for offline parametering of a field device with the help of an operating program B running on an operating device B, the operating program B communicates with a copy of the device software program GS that runs in the field device F1.
Claims8
A method for the offline parameterization of a field device for process automation technology with the help of an operating program BW running on an operating device B, which is normally used for parameterization an online field device, comprising the steps of:
- communicating the operating program BW with a field device F1 over a data bus D for online parameterization and for which no device description is available describing the offline behavior of the field device F1;
- and
- communicating the operating program BW with a copy of the device software program GS running on a device different from the field device F1, thereby simulating an online field device F1.
