<p>A system for process automation with a plurality of intelligent sensors, wherein each sensor serves for determining or monitoring a physical or chemical, process variable of a medium and each sensor has a primary side, plug connector element and a secondary side, plug connector element with a sensor element. Energy supply and data communication occurs between the two plug connector elements via a releasable plug-in connector coupling, wherein associated with each sensor is a Web service interface, via which the sensor is connectable to a wide area network (WAN) or to a local area network (LAN). A control unit or a server is provided, which provides at least one software for generating a virtual measurement transmitter, and wherein communication occurs between the virtual measurement transmitter and the sensors via the Web service interface.</p> |
