    摘要: A method to operate field devices using an operating device with a touch-sensitive input and/or display area via which, for the purpose of operation, a field-device-dependent main menu level is displayed with multiple segments and at least one first segmentation level, which is assigned to a specific segment. A zoom function is used to increase or reduce the size of a selected segment of the main menu level and change the transparency of the main menu level and the transparency of the first segmentation level so that the transparency of the main menu level increases and the transparency of the first segmentation level decreases when the user zooms in such that the first segmentation level becomes visible. The transparency of the main menu level decreases and the transparency of the first segmentation level increases when the user zooms out such that the main menu level becomes visible such that switching takes place between the main menu level and the first segmentation level assigned to the desired segment.

    摘要: In a method for testing device descriptions for field devices of automation technology, a finite state machine is produced from a device description to serve as a basis for a test script. For testing the device description, the test script is executed, with data being sent to and received from the device description. In such case, it is tested whether desired values set in the test script agree with actual values delivered e.g. from the field device.

    摘要: A method for creating a customer-specific setup for a library of device drivers, wherein each device driver is a software module, via which a field device, or a field device type, can be serviced. The method permits creation of an individualized, customer-specific setup for the device driver library. This is achieved by the feature that a DTM library setup is expanded automatically by earlier assembled, customer-specific information.

    摘要: A method for integration of device-objects in an object-based management system for field devices in automation technology, wherein the device-objects are used for servicing the field devices. Updated device objects or an updated version of a device-objects library, are/is stored on a physical storage medium, wherein the physical storage medium is connected with a control/display unit, on which a predetermined operating system is running, into which a frame application for the device objects is bound. A program is activated, which makes the updated device objects stored on the physical storage medium at least partially accessible on a display unit, as soon as the storage medium is connected with the control/display unit, and wherein, automatically or manually, a dialog is started, with which operating personnel can invoke a selected number of device-objects, and, via the updated device object, or updated device objects, service a corresponding field device, or corresponding field devices.
