Abstract
An arrangement, storage medium, and method are provided for accessing monitoring data from a storage arrangement of a processing system using a Web Service, in which the monitoring data is associated with a field device. For example, the monitoring data may be in an Extensible Markup Language (“XML”) format, and a Simple Object Access Protocol can be used to access a particular portion of the monitoring data from the database. Moreover, based on the monitoring data, the field device can be replaced before problems arise therewith.
Claims43
An arrangement, comprising:
- a first processing system operable to access monitoring data from a storage arrangement of a second processing system using a Web Service, wherein the monitoring data is associated with at least one field device.
A logic arrangement encoded on a computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a first processing system, configure the first processing system to access monitoring data from a storage arrangement of a second processing system using a Web Service, wherein the monitoring data is associated with at least one field device.
A computer-readable medium comprising and encoded with executable instructions, wherein, when the executable instructions are executed by a first processing system, the executable instructions configure the first processing system to access monitoring data from a storage arrangement of a second processing system using a Web Service, wherein the monitoring data is associated with at least one field device.
A software arrangement encoded on a computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a first processing system, configure the first processing system to access monitoring data from a storage arrangement of a second processing system using a Web Service, wherein the monitoring data is associated with at least one field device.
A method, comprising:
- accessing monitoring data from a storage arrangement of a second processing system using a Web Service, wherein the monitoring data is associated with at least one field device;
- and
- transmitting at least one of a request to replace the at least one field device and a recommendation for a maintenance to be performed on the at least one field device based on the monitoring data.
