Abstract
A method for configuring a field device for use in custody transfer and such a field device, wherein the field device has a computing unit and a storage, wherein parameters and/or functions are stored in the storage, and wherein the parameters and/or functions are at least partially configurable. A more flexible configuration of the field device used for custody transfer is achieved by at least two blocking groups being provided, wherein each blocking group comprises at least one parameter and/or at least one function of the field device, at least one blocking group is chosen and evaluated by the computing unit, and the computing unit blocking the parameters and/or functions contained in the chosen at least one blocking group against a subsequent change.
