LOGIC ARRANGEMENT, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC GENERATION AND SIMULATION OF A FIELDBUS NETWORK LAYOUT

摘要

The present invention relates generally to a logic arrangement, system and method which aid in the design of a fieldbus network (100). In particular, the logic arrangement, system and method facilitate a generation of a fieldbus network layout in accordance with a fieldbus network design and the design rules of the particular fieldbus protocol. Further, the logic arrangement, system and method can facilitate a computer simulation of an operation of a designed fieldbus network prior to its physical implementation.
