Abstract
The present invention relates to verification of connections between a computing unit, such as a test computer, and a device, e.g. a sensor or transducer, in a fieldbus network of a sub-assembly of a wind turbine. The fieldbus network comprises a plurality of network components. One of the network components comprises a program element. The computing unit is arranged for forwarding a request to the program element to verify the connection from the computing unit to a selected device, the request comprising a sequence of selected network components between the computing unit and the selected device. The program element is arranged to establish in a sequenced manner a communication connection between the selected network components and the selected device, and to provide a response as to whether or not the connection exists.
