Abstract

A method for automatic discovery of a Field Device during initial commissioning includes registering a Media Access Control (MAC) address of the Field Device with a Distributed Control System (DCS), and registering the Field Device with a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server. An IP address may be assigned to the Field Device using the DHCP Server, and a DHCP client table may be polled using the DCS to recognize the MAC address of the Field Device. In response to the DCS recognizing the MAC address of the Field Device, the Field Device may be authenticated and authorized using the DCS.
