AUTOMATIC PROCESS DATA TRANSMISSION AND MONITORING FOR AN INDUSTRIAL PROCESS NETWORK

摘要

A field device can transmit, over an industrial process network, data (e.g., including process data) to a host device configured to send and receive messages with one or more field devices. The field device can transmit the data in response to receiving a communications token that delegates time to the field device to transmit data over the industrial process network. A data monitoring device can monitor the data transmitted over the industrial process network, and can output at least a portion of the data for display at a display device operatively coupled to the data monitoring device.

1. A method of monitoring data on an industrial process network, the method comprising:
transmitting, by a field device over the industrial process network, data to a host device configured to send and receive messages with one or more field devices; monitoring, by a data monitoring device, the data transmitted over the industrial process network; and outputting, by the data monitoring device, at least a portion of the data for display at a display device operatively coupled to the data monitoring device.
