Problems solved by technology

Also, some parameters are grouped while some are displayed by themselves, and since there are often parameters for over 100 devices listed vertically in a single column, it can be difficult for the user to locate what he or she wants to configure and send during a bulk transfer the exact parameters of
This difficulty can be exacerbated when there are several different field device parameters with the same name within the field device

Embodiment Construction

[0035] Configuration systems typically include configuration tools that provide templates or generic configurations that define configuration information for multiple intelligent field devices of the same type, and that provide the ability to apply the template to one or more connected and debugged devices using bulk transfer operations. Smart field devices or approaches to virtual devices (ie, reserved locations established during process plant design). Importantly, the configuration system enables users to configure changes in field device parameters while viewing contextual information about the field devices, thereby helping users find and configure appropriate field device parameters during configuration activities. Accordingly, embodiments provided herein provide a way for a user using an asset management system to configure multiple intelligent field devices substantially simultaneously and to simultaneously mark or apply configuration data to field devices in a bulk tra...

Abstract

A computer-implemented system and method for configuring a plurality of field devices enable a user to perform both device parameter editing and marking device parameters for bulk transfer in a simplean easy manner. The system and method provide a single application or utility that enables a user to view and make configuration changes as well as to view and change bulk transfer status for individual field device parameters while providing the user contextual information regarding the field device components to which the field device parameters belong or relate. The system and method provide the user with typical or standard configuration screens that enable the user to perform configuration activities in a simple and well-known format, but that include contextual indications of the various field device components to which the displayed field device parameters relate. This functionality enables the user to view and change the bulk transfer status of the individual parameters, without needing to go to a separate application or screen.
