Abstract
A field device for process automation, comprising a short-range wireless communication circuit having a mobile communication device and a control circuit for controlling the communication circuit. The control circuit selects data stored in the field device, instructs the communication circuit to transmit the selected data in a publicly available broadcast mode, establishes a short-range communication connection with the mobile communication device, and uses configuration data that the mobile communication device has sent to the field device after establishing the short-range communication connection in order to change the selection of data sent out in the publicly available broadcast mode or to stop the broadcast mode.
