METHOD FOR EXCHANGING PARAMETERIZATION AND CONFIGURATION DATA BETWEEN A CONFIGURATION OR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND A FIELD DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for exchanging configuration or parameterization data (DS) between a configuration or management system (BE) and a field device (F1) by way of an automation technology-type field bus (FB), wherein at least one first functional group (FG1) of parameterization data or configuration data (DS1) is implemented in the field device (F1), wherein a first characteristic number (C1) describing the first functional group (FG1) of parameterization or configuration data (DS1) is determined by way of a mathematical process, wherein at least one second functional group (FG1') of parameterization or configuration data (DS1') is integrated into the configuration or management system (BE) in the form of a device description, wherein at least one second characteristic number (C1') describing the second functional group (FG1') of parameterization or configuration data (DS1') is determined by way of the mathematical process, wherein the first characteristic number (C1) and the second characteristic number (C1') are compared with one another, and if the first characteristic number (C1) and the second characteristic number (C1') differ, the parameterization or configuration data (DS1') of the second functional group (FG1') is transmitted by the configuration or management system (BE) to the field device (F1) and is stored in the field device (F1) in place of the parameterization or configuration data (DS1) of the first functional group (FG1), or the parameterization and configuration data (DS1) of the first functional group (FG1) is read out by the configuration or management system (BE) and is stored in the configuration or management system (BE) in place of the second functional group (FG1').
