METHOD FOR INTEGRATING FIELD DEVICES INTO AN AUTOMATION SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates a method for integrating field devices (1, 1a, 1b, 2, 3) into an automation system in a particularly flexible manner, said method comprising the steps of preparing individual driver devices (21, 21a, 21b, 22, 23), associated with the corresponding field device, in a runtime program (25) which runs on the automation system, combining the corresponding individual driver devices (21, 21a, 21b, 22, 23) into a general driver structure (26), by means of the runtime program (25), and preparing the general driver structure (26) for calling by at least one user data processing device (27, 33), connected to the automation system.
