Feldgeräte (Aktoren) z.B. Ventile erzeugt werden, die den Prozessablauf steuern.Field devices (actuators) e.g. Valves are generated that control the process flow.
Die Signalübertragung zwischen Feldgeräte und Warte bzw. Leitsystem erfolgt z.B. über eine Stromschleife oder einem Datenbus entsprechend den bekannten Standards (Profibus, Foundation, Fieldbus, CAN-Bus). Die Feldgeräte sind Teil einer Fabrikationsanlage, deren Management sehr aufwendig ist. Informationen zu der Fabrikationsanlage einschließlich deren Komponenten wie z.B.
