Abstract
An operator panel having a state unit is provided, wherein individual states of the state unit correspond to states of a state machine contained in a field device and which are synchronized by the state machine in such a way that the actual state of the operator panel corresponds to the actual state of the field device. The operator panel is in the same state as the field device such that the operator panel knows the actual state of the field device.
