摘要:
A method for virtual communication relationship extraction, availability determination and validation from a foundation fieldbus device descriptor file can include obtaining a number of virtual communication relationships for fieldbus and linking devices coupled to a host system, identifying types of the virtual communication relationships for the fieldbus and linking devices, configuring function blocks related to the fieldbus and linking devices, reporting a count of consumed virtual communication relationships and available virtual communication relationships for the fieldbus and linking devices, determining an availability of a total number of virtual communication relationships and in response to no availability of virtual communication relationships, generating a message on the host system.
