Problems solved by technology

[0016] Due to this multiple analysis blocks, integrating a new set of field devices with device description information according to the new DD specification may bring additional challenges (overhead and cost of implementation)
Additionally, the respective implementations may require additional memory and processing power during operation / runtime, which may be a problem especially in the case of thin clients

Embodiment Construction

[0031] 1 Overview

[0032] An aspect of the present invention converts device descriptions of field devices defined in different DD specifications into a common format, and checks the data in the common format to form a user interface and display it to the user. In one embodiment, the general format corresponds to XML text.

[0033] This approach provides several advantages. For example, a considerable part of the task of integrating field devices with new device descriptions defined in accordance with the new DD specification into a pre-existing management station may only need to generate new device descriptions in accordance with a common format. Similar advantages can be obtained when integrating different devices (with corresponding different device descriptions) defined in the same DD specification.

[0034] To illustrate, several aspects of the present invention are described below with reference to examples. It should be understood that many specific details, relationships...

Abstract

According to an aspect of the present invention, device descriptions of different DD specifications are converted (represented) into a single format. In an embodiment, the single format corresponds to extended markup language (XML). The device description in the single format is then examined to provide a user interface for management of the corresponding field devices. Due to such use of a common format, integration of field devices (into a management system) having device description defined according to a new DD specification, may be simplified.
