<p>The invention relates to a system and a method for identifying automation components, particularly sensors, actuators and wiring components. According to the invention, each component (sensor, actuator, cable, compensation box, etc.) that is to be identified is equipped with an identification unit in which a code for identifying the automation component is stored and which outputs said identification code when being activated. Preferably, the identification unit comprises an electronic circuit (e.g. an RFID chip or a discreet circuit) while being provided with galvanically insulating (inductive, capacitive, radio-based) or galvanically conducting coupling to the component that is to be identified. The identification unit can be subsequently mounted on a component or can be inseparably connected thereto already during the production of the component.</p> |
