METHOD FOR DETERMINING SERVICE INTERVALS FOR FIELD DEVICES OF AUTOMATION SYSTEMS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining service intervals for field devices of automation systems with the aid of a computer unit during which the following method steps are carried out. Firstly, device-specific parameters for a predetermined field device are selected and input by means of a default list. Afterwards, application-specific parameters for the predetermined field device are selected and indicated by means of at least one additional default list. A computer program running on a computer unit then determines, based on the inputs, a service interval for the relevant field device.
