Abstract
A method and a system includes devices for remote operation of a device, especially a field device. The method may be executed on a system including a first device, especially a field device, which supplies data according to a display content, especially image data, to a second device, also a field device for visualizing the image data.
Claims17
A method for remote operation of a field device, comprising the steps:
- configuring a first device to supply a display content;
- configuring a second device to visualize the display content and act as a terminal, wherein the first and the second devices communicate remotely with one another over a communication connection;
- communicating an operating action as a command (CMD) from said second device to said first device to be executed on said first device;
- transmitting said display content according to the command from said first device to said second device via the communication connection;
- and
- visualizing the display content transmitted from said first device on said second device,
- wherein said first device has a video memory;
- and
- wherein said display content is read out of the video memory of said first device,
- wherein the first device is one of a sensor for a pressure, a sensor for a filling level, a sensor for a threshold level, a sensor for a density, or a flow transducer, and wherein the first device has a local display and operating unit,
- wherein the second device is a personal computer or a display operating device for a sensor, or a mobile telephone, or a smartphone, or a laptop or a handheld device, and
- wherein the first and the second device each has a respective display and control device, and
- wherein each of the respective display and control devices utilize similar operating units.
