COMBINING MANUAL AND AUTOMATED TEST RESULTS IN AN INDUSTRIAL FACILITY

摘要

A method of combining test results from devices including processing equipment (147) and field devices (146) in an integrated industrial control system (IICS) (100) of an industrial facility (IF) (102). The method includes entering (401) manual test data (226) obtained from at least a first of the devices into a first electronic data file in a memory (120) associated with a computer-based testing tool (122) including a processor (112). The computer-based testing tool initiates (410) at least partially automatic testing and automatic collection to obtain at least partially automatic test data (224, 234) involving the first device. The manual test data and the at least partially automatic test data are automatically combined (418) in the first electronic data file to provide a combined overall test result (218) for the first device.
