Method for Automatic Configuration of a Process Control System and Corresponding Process Control System

摘要

A process control system and a method for automatic configuration of the system are described. The system includes a master and at least one slave, whereby the master controls the at least one slave, which is connected to and communicates with the master via a bus system, and processes data received from the at least one slave. The master automatically identifies the at least one slave via the bus system, and subsequently automatically generates a slave configuration for setting up the slave according to its identification such that the slave is ready to be operated in the process control system.
