METHOD FOR EXPANDING AN EMBEDDED SOFTWARE COMPONENT OF A FIELD DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for expanding an embedded software component (201) of a field device (F). An expansion software component (301, 302, 301a, 302a) is loaded onto a memory unit of the field device (F), and at least one additional application function is provided for the field device (F) by means of the expansion software component (301, 302, 301a, 302a), wherein the embedded software component (201) and the expansion software component (301, 302, 301a, 302a) interact in order to carry out the additional application function.
