摘要:
A method for diagnosing networks including networks of field bus systems utilizes an arrangement for diagnosing the networks. The arrangement includes at least two field bus diagnostic apparatuses with each of the field bus diagnostic apparatuses being assigned to a corresponding field bus. The method is carried out with the steps of: causing each of the field bus diagnostic apparatuses to detect current data traffic of the corresponding one of the field busses as a data record and storing the data record on an allocated storage medium; diagnosing the detected data record in an evaluation unit integrated into the corresponding field bus diagnostic apparatus and storing the diagnosed data record in the storage medium allocated to the corresponding field bus diagnostic apparatus; making the detected, diagnosed and stored data record available in the network via a server integrated into each of the field bus diagnostic apparatuses; causing the field bus diagnostic apparatuses to exchange the data records with each other via the servers thereof and the network and storing the exchanged data records on the storage mediums of corresponding ones of the field bus diagnostic apparatuses so that, on each of the storage mediums, the exchanged data records of all other field bus diagnostic apparatuses are stored in addition to the detected, diagnosed and stored data records of the field bus diagnostic apparatus; and, inspecting the detected, diagnosed and stored data records via at least one output unit with each output unit being connected via a client to the network and the data records being made available in the network by at least one arbitrary server.
摘要:
A Field Device Tool (FDT)-based application is provided. The FDT-based application includes at least one communication Device Type Manager (communication DTM) and a router Device Type Manager (DTM). The communication DTM corresponds with a type of communication protocol that an at least one plant asset follows. The communication DTM is configured to provide an interface for communication between the FDT-based application and the communication protocol that the plant asset follows. The router DTM is coupleable to an asset optimization device manager that includes electronic device description language (EDDL), the router DTM is configured to transfer data from the asset optimization device manager to the at least one communication DTM for communication with the plant asset.
