<p>In order to specify a method for configuration of field devices (11, 12a-12g), in which a user can carry out configuration processes with a high level of confidence against incorrect settings, even without extensive knowledge of a set of rules governing the communication, it is proposed that a graphics editor (30) has a first display area (31), which comprises a graphics display (33) of functions of a first field device (11), and has a second display area (32) which comprises a graphics display (36a, 36b) of at least one further field device (12a-12g) which is connected to the first field device (11), and an indication (37a, 37b) of possible output signals, a selection by the user of an output signal from the at least one further field device (for example 12a) and of a function of the first field device (11) is detected, and parameter sets are produced for the first field device (11) and for the at least one further field device (for example 12a), which parameter sets comprise instructions for configuration of the communication link of the first field device (11) and of the at least one further field device (for example 12a) which, when a selected output signal is present for the at least one further field device (for example 12a), indicate that a data message has been sent to the first field device (11) and that the selected function of the first field device (11) has been initiated. The invention also relates to a correspondingly designed power automation installation (10).</p> |
