The invention discloses a method, an apparatus and a system for setting parameters of industrial equipment. The method comprises the following steps of: by a terminal device, acquiring a serial number of a target industrial equipment; searching for an initial parameter set corresponding to industrial equipment type of the target industrial equipment, wherein the industrial equipment type is determined according to the serial number of the target industrial equipment; generating a target parameter set by making use of the initial parameter set; then, transmitting the target parameter set to the target industrial equipment by the terminal device or a server, and performing parameter configuration. According to the method for setting parameters of industrial equipment, disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, after the serial number is acquired, the terminal device locally or the server searches for the initial parameter set corresponding to the industrial equipment type corresponding to the serial number, then, obtains the target parameter set by making use of the initial parameter set, and finally, transmits the target parameter set to the industrial equipment so as to perform parameter setting. By the process, conditions of manual input are reduced, parameters of a plurality of industrial equipments can be set quickly, moreover, accuracy of the parameters is guaranteed.
