Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for starting up a field device of the process automation technology according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • field devices are often used which serve to detect and / or influence process variables.
  • Examples of such field devices are level gauges, mass flow meters, pressure and temperature measuring devices, etc., which detect as sensors the corresponding process variable level, flow, pressure or temperature.
  • actuators such.
  • valves that control the flow of a liquid in a pipe section or pumps as the level in a container.
  • fieldbus systems Profilebus®, Foundation® Fieldbus, etc.
  • control systems or control units connected. These serve for process control, process visualization, process monitoring and commissioning of the field devices.
  • the corporate networks may also be connected to public networks, e.g. connected to the internet.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a method for commissioning a
  • the essential idea of the invention is that during commissioning of the field device, the serial number and the software version number of the relevant field device are read with the aid of an operating program and compared with the ent speaking information on a service server at the field device manufacturer become. If a more up-to-date software version is available on the service server than the software version used in the field device, this is displayed and the user can transfer the new software version to the field device.
  • Fig. 1 Network of automation technology in
  • FIG. 2 flowchart.
  • a typical network LAN of automation technology is shown schematically, which consists of a data bus Dl, to which several workstations WSL, WS2 are connected, which serve as control systems or control units.
  • the data bus Dl operates z. Eg according to the Ethernet standard.
  • a gateway Gl the data bus Dl is connected to a fieldbus FB.
  • Several field devices F1, F2, F3 and F4 which serve as sensors or actuators for process control, are connected to the fieldbus FB.
  • the fieldbus FB works z. B. according to the Profibus® or Foundation®Fieldbus standard.
  • An operating unit BE is connected to the fieldbus FB.
  • the operating unit BE can also be connected to the data bus Dl as an alternative.
  • the field devices are serviced to the fieldbus FB field devices and put into operation.
  • the control unit BE is still z. B. connected via a radio link to a public network (eg., Internet), to which also a service computer SR, which is operated by the field device manufacturer ange ⁇ closed.

  • BP FieldCare® Fa. Endress + Hauser
  • the operating program BP communicates with a field device z.

  • the serial number uniquely identifies field devices.
  • the operating program BP communicates with the service computer SR and determines the belonging to the serial number of the field device Fl current software version number.

  • the connection between the operating unit BE and the service computer SR can be safety-critical, since this establishes a connection between the network LAN and a public network. Firewalls, which normally protect the company's own networks against public networks, are bypassed in this way. However, this security risk can be minimized by appropriate measures. It is conceivable to set up an encrypted connection via a VPN network (Virtual Private Network). A firewall can be installed on the control unit BE, which protects the company-owned local network against unauthorized access from the outside. As a further security measure, access protection is possible via a one-time password with RSA authentication.
  • the invention is not only suitable for the commissioning of field devices but also in subsequent service work, in which the field device is accessed.
  • the user z. B. a service technician is also displayed in this case, whether the latest software version is used in the field device. Accordingly, the latest version can be downloaded from the service computer SR and transferred to the field device.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé pour mettre en marche un appareil de terrain issu de la technique d'automatisation des processus. Ce procédé met en oeuvre un programme de commande (BP) qui est exécuté sur une unité de commande (BE) pouvant être connectée par l'intermédiaire d'un réseau public (par exemple Internet) à l'appareil de terrain et à un ordinateur de maintenance de fabriquant d'appareil de terrain (SR). Le programme de commande (BP) communique avec l'appareil de terrain et extrait son numéro de série et son numéro de version logicielle. Le programme de commande (BP) communique ensuite avec l'ordinateur de maintenance de fabriquant d'appareil de terrain (SR) et détermine le numéro de version logicielle actuelle appartenant au numéro de série de l'appareil de terrain. Si les deux numéros de version logicielle ne coïncident pas, un message correspondant est produit, puis, éventuellement dans une troisième étape, la version logicielle actuelle est chargée par l'ordinateur de maintenance (SR) et transmise à l'appareil de terrain.
