Embodiment Construction

[0035] attached figure 1 A schematic diagram of screen 10 of the configuration tool is shown. On the screen 10 there is a first screen element 11 and an open window 14 , which will be referred to as the active window 14 in the following. The active window 14 is always in the foreground and is available for editing. Other open windows can partially or completely overlap and hide behind the active window 14 .

[0036]The first screen element 11 includes a plurality of second screen elements 12 in the first direction 31, and includes a plurality of third screen elements 13 respectively subordinate to one second screen element 12 in the second direction 32, along the second The orientation 32 provides exactly one second screen element 12 and at least one third screen element 13 logically associated with each other.

[0037] in the attached figure 1 The first direction 31 and the second direction 32 are indicated by dotted lines in . The second direction 32 is at least approxi...

Abstract

A method and device for managing and configuring field devices in an automation installation has a configuration tool that is designed to physically identify a field device in the automation installation, to logically incorporate it into the automation installation and to configurate it in the automation installation, wherein the configuration tool to this end resorts to a prescribed first field-device-specific information package that describes the functions and data of the field device at least in part. The screen (10) may have a first screen element (11) provided on it that has a plurality of second screen elements (12) in a first orientation (31) and a plurality of third screen elements (13), which are each subordinate to a second screen element (12), in a second orientation (32), wherein precisely one second screen element (12) and at least one third screen element (13), which are logically connected to one another, are arranged along the second orientation (32).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for managing and configuring field devices of an automation system. The invention is particularly useful in process automation or machine control systems for controlling processes and / or system components. Background technique [0002] An automation system for controlling a process or a process plant usually includes a control unit (SPS), which can be integrated in a network of several intelligent electrical devices. Intelligent electronic devices are microprocessor-based devices such as protection and control devices, motor protection devices, smart switches and voltage regulators, frequency converters, pressure and temperature measurement transmitters, flow meters and actuators. [0003] According to the article "FDIDeviceIntegration-BestofBothWorlds" published on pages 16-19 of atpedition6 / 2010, the FDI solution (field device integration IEC-62769) can be used to integrate field devices into automation systems. Th...
