Method for operating an object-based configuration system for field devices in automation technology

摘要

Method for operating an object-based configuration system KS for field devices in automation technology, with a framework application R, which is used to manage and instantiate several objects, with individual groups of device objects being assigned field device types which, as a device manager, enable configuration of the corresponding field device type, with a first main -Object HO-1 is provided, which provides a first object set OS-1 with device objects for several device types and instantiates device objects of the first object set via an identifier Kn with the help of a first set of rules in order to generate device managers for these field device types, characterized in that in addition to the first main object HO-1 a second main object HO-2 is provided, which has a second object set OS-2, wherein individual device objects of the second object set OS-2 correspond to updated device objects of the first object set OS-1 and that between the Frame napplication R and the main object (s) HO-1 or HO-2, an intermediate layer Z is provided which, via a second set of rules, selects that main object that provides the latest device objects for the selected device type and which after the device type has been selected, the corresponding main object transfers the identifier Kn in order to instantiate the device object.
