Field bus device

摘要

A field bus device (2) having a control unit (18), at least one field bus port (6, 13) for connecting the control unit (18) to a field bus (7, 4), and having a serial interface (11) for the data connection of the field bus device (2) to a configuration device (12) is described. The field bus device (2) has a web server platform (14) implemented in it which can be addressed using the TCP/IP protocol, wherein the web server platform (14) is set up to configure the field bus device (2). The field bus device (2) has a protocol converter (15) for converting the data transmission protocol for the serial interface (11) to the TCP/IP protocol and vice versa such that the configuration device (12) can use the web server platform (14) for access using data packets which are transmitted via the serial interface (11) and which are based on the TCP/IP protocol.

主权项

1. A programmable field communication bus device comprising:
a control unit arranged to control or monitor bus scribers; at least one field communication bus port for connecting the control unit to a field bus; a serial interface for a data connection of the field communication bus device to a configuration device; a web server platform operable by said field communication bus device which can be addressed using a TCP/IP protocol, wherein the web server platform is set up to configure the field communication bus device; and a protocol converter operable by said field communication bus device for converting a data transmission protocol of a data transmission from the serial interface to the TCP/IP protocol and vice versa such that the configuration device communicates with the web server platform using data packets which are transmitted via the serial interface and which are based on the TCP/IP protocol, wherein the serial interface does not handle the data transmission via the data connection using either an Ethernet data transmission standard or the TCP/IP protocol.
