A system and method for the automated checking of I/O loops of a process automation system is disclosed that includes a dongle configured to be installed on a terminal block and make an electrical connection to at least one I/O loop. Operating software communicates with the dongle and to a database of I/O loop data. The operating software constructs an I/O loop check file using the database of I/O loop data and downloads the I/O loop check file to the dongle, where the dongle uses the I/O loop check file to test the I/O loop.

System and method for automated loop checking

An apparatus is configured to be installed on a terminal block to make an electrical connection to at least one I/O loop. The apparatus includes a terminal section having at least one pair of electrical terminals. The electrical terminals are arranged to be connected to the terminal block and to the I/O loop. The apparatus further includes an electronic section electrically connected to the terminal section adapted to communicate with the I/O loop through the terminal section.

Apparatus for automated loop checking

A method and interface for automated loop checking of an industrial process control and automation system comprises importing wiring diagrams and alarm setpoints to operating software executing on a hand-held device from a database. The operating software uses the wiring diagrams and alarm setpoints to build an I/O loop check file. The method further includes, installing a dongle adapted to simulate I/O signals on a first terminal block. The dongle making an electrical connection to at least one I/O loop. The method further includes transmitting via a communication link the I/O loop check file to the dongle and instructing the dongle to perform an I/O loop test on the at least one I/O loop by simulating I/O signals based on the I/O loop check file. The results of the I/O loop test is transmitted via the communication link the results to the operating software.
