An operator control unit for a field device used in automation technology includes a first operating system that includes an application program executable on the first operating system, and an emulation algorithm designed to execute, on the application program, application software executed on a second operating system. The application software has at least one communication protocol for coding/decoding telegrams transmitted to/from the field device and is designed to operate the field device, in particular to read, display and modify parameters of the field device, and/or to read and display measured values of the field device.

The present disclosure comprises a method, a communication module, and a system for transmitting diagnosis data of a field device that is connected to a superordinate unit via a communication loop. The communication module is connected to the communication loop in parallel with the field device. The method includes the continual storage of electrical energy in the communication module by a transducer unit within the communication module that captures an electrical and/or physical variable and converts it into electrical energy. The method includes polling the diagnosis data of the field device by the communication module and wireless transmission of the polled diagnosis data to a reception unit by the communication module.

An enhancement device for a wireless antenna. The wireless antenna serves for transmitting and receiving wireless signals for wireless data transmission. The wireless signals comprise a first transmission protocol and a first transmission frequency. A connecting element is provided, which connects the enhancement device to the wireless antenna. A first transmitting-/receiving unit is provided, which serves to receive transmission wireless signals from the wireless antenna. A converter is provided which is embodied to convert the transmission wireless signals from the wireless antenna into a second transmission protocol and/or into a second transmission frequency. A second transmitting-/receiving unit is provided, which serves to transmit the converted transmission wireless signals, wherein a circuit is provided, which is embodied to harvest energy from the received transmission wireless signals.

Enhancement device for a wireless antenna

An apparatus for servicing a field device from a remote terminal, wherein the field device has an onsite display/servicing capability and is connected to a fieldbus of process automation technology. The remote terminal and the field device communicate with one another via at least one defined transmission protocol. A web server is integrated in the field device, in a Plant Access Point or in the remote terminal; the web server provides all requested device information, which is the so called firmware, of the field device in the form of dynamically produced contents to the remote terminal. A communication driver specific to the applied transmission protocol and a browser are integrated in the remote terminal. The communication driver emulates the protocol of the onsite display/servicing capability of the field device on the remote terminal and the dynamically produced contents are displayed on a display of the remote terminal via the web browser, so that the onsite display/servicing capability at the field device and the display/servicing capability at the remote terminal are identical.

Method for operating a field device of process automation technology, wherein the field device is connected for communication with at least one servicing tool. In the case of a request by a servicing tool for access to the field device, the access allowed by the field device depends on the particular servicing tool which places the access request, and on the operating state, in which the field device is located.

Method for operating a field device

A method for servicing field devices of process automation technology utilizing a device-independent operating program SP running in a computer unit CU and requiring device-specific description files DD-DDfor accessing parameters and/or functions of field devices F-F, wherein the device-specific description files must be processed by a preprocessing program, during run time of the operating program SP, that preprocessing program IPor IPis called, which was successfully tested with the corresponding description file DD-DD

Method for servicing field devices of process automation technology utilizing a device-independent operating program

A method for monitoring a field device connected via a data bus with a control unit. To prevent unauthorized tampering with the field device, the control unit requests, at intervals of time, an individual identifier of the field device. The requested individual identifier is compared with an identifier stored in the control unit. An alarm is produced or a warning, in the case of a change in the requested individual identifier.
