Method of Configuring Field Devices and Field Device Having a Configuration for Two Bus Systems

摘要

Systems and methods of the subject invention provide for the communication with field devices in a first fieldbus system working in accordance with a first standard, and in a second fieldbus system working in accordance with a second standard. First and second field devices are arranged in the first fieldbus system and are coupled via a first fieldbus in accordance with the first standard. The first field device is also coupled to the second fieldbus system working in accordance with a second standard. A standardized object in accordance with the first standard is loaded on the first field device. A description of the standardized object is provided in the second fieldbus system. The standardized object is used from the second fieldbus system, the standardized object having no definition of a data type.
