Abstract
An Ethernet I/O card (EIOC) scanner device facilitates configuration of a process control system to enable improved integration of EIOC-enabled field devices (and associated field device variables) into the process control system. Specifically, the EIOC scanner may: (i) analyze decoder files for EIOC-enabled field devices to automatically identify field device variables that the EIOC-enabled field devices are configured to transmit or receive; and (ii) quickly and easily facilitate a configuration of the process control system to integrate into the process control system the EIOC-enabled field devices and any associated field device variables identified by the EIOC scanner.
