Abstract
In a method for servicing a field device of process automation technology having at least two measurement channels, with the assistance of an external service unit, separate device descriptions are provided in the service unit for the measurement channels. The individual measurement channels can be invoked on the service unit via the corresponding device descriptions as logical units, so that, in servicing, the field device appears to the user as at least two logically independent field devices.
