A method of configuring a field device includes identifying an original Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPC UA) server provided for a field device of the same type; creating a data set of values of parameters of the original OPC UA server; storing the created data set of the values of parameters of the original OPC UA server in a storage medium separate to the original OPC UA server; and generating a configuration for the field device comprising utilizing the created data set of the values of parameters of the original OPC UA server in the storage medium separate to the original OPC UA server.

Method of configuring a specific field device utilizing an original open platform communications unified architecture server

A field device configuration tool includes: a user interface; a processing unit; and a memory. The processing unit controls the user interface to present information for a parameter of a field device on a display of the user interface. The user interface enables a user of the field device to input a semantic identification ID for the parameter of the field device. The processing unit maps the semantic identification ID to the parameter for the field device as a mapping. The processing unit saves the mapping between the semantic ID and the parameter in the memory as a saved mapping.
