CONFIGURATION OF THE COMMUNICATION LINKS OF FIELD DEVICES IN A POWER AUTOMATION INSTALLATION

摘要

A method configures field devices with confidence against incorrect settings. A graphics editor has a first display area, which contains a graphics display of functions of a first field device, and a second display area which contains a graphics display of a further field device which is connected to the first field device and displays indications of possible output signals. A selection by a user of an output signal from the further field device and of a function of the first field device is detected. Parameter sets are produced which contain instructions for configuring a communication link of the first field device and of the further field device which, when a selected output signal is present for the further field device, indicate that a data message has been sent to the first field device and that the selected function of the first field device has been initiated.
