摘要： An industrial process control system is provided that includes one or more fieldbus devices configured to communicate alarm or alert information representative of alarms and alerts using a first format. The industrial process control system also includes a linking device connected to the one or more fieldbus devices that is configured to publish the alarm or alert information from the fieldbus devices to one or more computers of the industrial process control system. A controller is also included that is configured to receive the alarm or alert information from the linking device. The controller is configured to interpret the alarm or alert information and create a list of the alarms and alerts in a second format interpretable by an alarm server of the industrial process control system, wherein the alarm server cannot interpret the first format.

摘要： Systems and methods for identifying Foundation Fieldbus linking devices are described. A pair of redundant Foundation Fieldbus linking devices may be identified by a gateway device that includes one or more computers. A single virtual address representative of the pair of redundant linking devices may then be determined by the gateway device, and information associated with operation of at least one of the pair of redundant linking devices may be provided by the gateway device to an external system. During the provision of information to the external system, the virtual address may be utilized to represent the at least one linking device.

摘要： Systems and methods for write protecting Foundation Fieldbus linking devices are described. A message output by an external system for communication to a Foundation Fieldbus linking device may be received by a gateway device. The linking device may be identified by a virtual address included in the received message. The gateway device may determine whether the message includes a command to write data to the linking device or a Foundation Fieldbus device connected to the linking device. If it is determined that the message does not include a command to write data, then the gateway device may direct communication of the message to the linking device. If, however, it is determined that the message includes a command to write data, the gateway device may generate an exception for preventing the requested write operation.
