METHOD FOR OPERATING A FIELD DEVICE FOR PROCESS AUTOMATION HAVING AT LEAST TWO MEASUREMENT CHANNELS AND FIELD DEVICE FOR PROCESS AUTOMATION HAVING AT LEAST TWO MEASUREMENT CHANNELS AND SUITABLE FOR PERFORMING SAID METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a method for operating a field device for process automation having at least two measurement channels using an external operating unit, separate device descriptions for the measurement channels being provided in the operating unit. The individual measurement channels can be invoked as logical units on the operating unit by means of the corresponding device description, such that the field device appears to the user to be at least two logically independent field devices during operation.
