A method for joining a wireless node of a field device such as a sensor or actuator to a wireless network connected to an industrial monitoring or control system. A handheld wireless device is utilized including hardware and software for communicating with the wireless node of a field device. A new communication configuration necessary for the new node to use in order to join the wireless network is sent from the handheld device to a new node. A wireless handheld device and an industrial monitoring or control system and a computer program.

Method for configuring a node of an industrial wireless network

A method to distribute or share data provided by a server process of an industrial control system to a client process running on a first machine of a first user, with a client process running on a machine of a second user. The server session is logged by the server process. It is determined that the first user makes a selection to distribute or share a client process with at least one second user. An address is retrieved for the at least one other user, and a channel is opened thus providing the same data provided to the client process running on the first machine to a client process running on a second machine of at least one second user. Also included are system, a human-machine interface and a computer program for carrying out the method.

Method for displaying data in an industrial control system

A method for recording a position of at least one component in a location system of a control system of an industrial facility for an industrial process. A model of the facility is created, including position coordinates for major parts of the facility. The model is stored in a location system storage. A component is identified. A mobile information processing device is placed adjacent the component and position coordinates are detected for the mobile information processing device. Identification information of the component and position coordinates of the mobile information processing device are stored in the location system storage.
