Abstract: A method for updating a process control system having a plurality of different hardware units includes providing a firmware data package, connecting a computing unit to an interface unit, transferring the firmware data package to the interface unit, providing current status data comprising information about the different hardware unit and information about the current firmware versions of the different hardware unit, checking whether the different hardware unit and the current firmware versions are compatible with the firmware update data for the different hardware units based on the current status data, and determining a checking result. When the checking result is positive, firmware update data in the different hardware unit is installed, and when the checking result is negative, an incompatibility message is provided.

Abstract: A network device for an automation system includes a network switch, wherein the network device is configured to access non-volatile storage to which the network device is communicatively coupled to obtain provisioning data for the network switch, wherein the provisioning data comprises data enabling the network device to obtain at least a baseline configuration for the network switch. The provisioning data comprises data enabling the network device comprising the network switch to obtain the at least baseline configuration for the network switch.
