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 according to different DD specifications into a common format, and examines data in the common format to form a user interface and display to the user. In one embodiment, the common format corresponds to XML text.

[0033] This approach offers several advantages. For example, the substantial part of the task of integrating into a pre-existing management station management field devices having new device descriptions defined according to the new DD specification may only require the generation of new device descriptions according to a common format. Similar advantages can be obtained when integrating different devices (with corresponding different device descriptions) defined according to the same DD specification.

[0034] For purposes of illustration, several aspects of the invention are described below with reference to examples. It should be understood that...

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.
