Abstract
A setting systemincludes a device configuration database DBthat stores setting data in a first format in which a device parameter to be set to a field deviceand identification information that logically identifies the device parameter are associated, and for which authority prescribed in advance is required in order to change the stored data, and in which, using device configuration information specifying the physical structure of the field deviceand the setting data in the first format obtained by reference to the database DB, setting data is generated in a second format in which physical information specifying the physical address at which the device parameter is to be set is associated with the device parameter, and is set to the field device. According to this setting system, it is possible to perform exchange of a field device without any requirement for engineering by a system engineer, thereby avoiding a device in production efficiency.
