Field device commissioning system and field device commissioning method

A field device commissioning method performed in a field device commissioning system comprising a commissioning tool, the commissioning tool comprising hardware and software components and being configured to improve the operation of the field device commissioning system and to with a field device in an industrial facility or plant and a repository, the method comprising:

• retrieving at least one property from the field device;
• comparing the retrieved at least one property with properties in a field device information file in the repository;
• determining if the retrieved at least one property is identical to at least one of the properties in the field device information file in the repository;
• when the retrieved at least one property is determined to be identical to at least one of the properties in the field device information file in the repository, performing a first test which is a display test for the field devices;
• when the retrieved at least one property is determined to be not identical to at least one of the properties in the field device information file in the repository, determining, from a control system loop information file in the repository, if the retrieved at least one property is for a predetermined field device;
• when the retrieved at least one property is determined to be for the predetermined field device, performing a second test which is a communication test on the predetermined field device, different from the first test;
• and
• when the retrieved at least one property is determined to be not for the predetermined device, performing a third test which is a field device state-determination test, different from the first and second tests, of determining a status of the field device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a computer program to be executed by a field device commissioning system to perform a field device commissioning method, the field device commissioning system comprising a commissioning tool, the commissioning tool comprising hardware and software components and being configured to improve the operation of the field device commissioning system and to communicate with a field device in an industrial facility or plant and a repository, the field device commissioning method comprising:

• retrieving at least one property from the field device;
• comparing the retrieved at least one property with properties in a field device information file in the repository;
• determining if the retrieved at least one property is identical to at least one of the properties in the field device information file in the repository;
• when the retrieved at least one property is determined to be identical to at least one of the properties in the field device information file in the repository, performing a first test which is a display test for the field devices;
• when the retrieved at least one property is determined to be not identical to at least one of the properties in the field device information file in the repository, determining, from a control system loop information file in the repository, if the retrieved at least one property is for a predetermined field device;
• when the retrieved at least one property is determined to be for the predetermined field device, performing a second test which is a communication test on the predetermined field device, different from the first test;
• and
• when the retrieved at least one property is determined to be not for the predetermined device, performing a third test which is a field device state-determination test, different from the first and second tests, of determining a status of the field device.
