Abstract
There is provided a field device management apparatus for acquiring and managing device information about a field device. The apparatus includes: a device information description unit having: an activation processing algorithm that activates a device information processing algorithm for acquiring the device information from the field device; and a description information that describes the device information; and a device information acquisition control unit that activates the device information processing algorithm using the activation processing algorithm so as to acquire the device information through the device information description unit.
Claims10
A field device management apparatus for acquiring and managing device information about a field device, the apparatus comprising:
- a device information description unit having:
- an activation processing algorithm that activates a device information processing algorithm at a device type manager for acquiring the device information from the field device;
- and
- a description information that describes the device information;
- and
- a device information acquisition control unit that activates the device information processing algorithm that is at the device type manager using the activation processing algorithm so as to acquire the device information through the device information description unit, wherein the device information acquisition control unit acquires the device information by the device information description unit in accordance with the description information,
- wherein the device information acquired by the information description unit and the device information acquired by the device information processing algorithm are integrated into the device information acquisition control unit.
A field device management apparatus for acquiring and managing device information about a filed device, the apparatus comprising:
