Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for determining the usage fees for a field device of automation technology according to the preamble of claim 1.
- field devices are used in many cases, which are used to record and / or influence process variables.
- Examples of such field devices are fill level measuring devices, mass flow measuring devices, pressure and temperature measuring devices etc., which as sensors detect the corresponding process variables fill level, flow, pressure or temperature.
- Actuators such as, for example, are used to influence process variables.
- field devices in today's manufacturing systems are via fieldbus systems (Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus, HART etc.) with higher-level units, for. B. control systems or control units connected. These units are used for process control, process visualization, process monitoring and for commissioning the field devices.
- Profilebus Foundation Fieldbus, HART etc.
- fieldbus systems are also connected to public communication networks.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a method for determining the usage fees for a field device of process automation technology that is simple and inexpensive to carry out.
- the essential idea of the invention is that the customer is billed for the use of a public communication network.
- a switching unit is provided in the public communication network, which monitors the transmission of the digital / analog signals supplied by the field device and generates a fee base value depending on the transmission. The usage fees for the field device in question are ultimately determined from this fee base value.
- the essential advantage of the invention is that the usage fees for a field device automatically d. H. without an additional unit to be installed on the field device and that the usage fees can be automatically billed to the customer.
- Existing infra-structures and accounting systems are used for this.
- the customer receives a monthly bill from a telecommunications service provider, who shows a portion of the invoice amount corresponding to the use of the field devices and the telecommunications service provider passes this amount on to the provider of the field devices after the bill has been paid by the end customer.
- the data volume of the transmitted data is recorded as the usage base value.
- 1 shows a plurality of field devices which are connected to a public communication
- a field bus system FB e.g. HART, Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus
- the gateway G can be e.g. B. the product Fieldgate from Endress + Hauser.
- the gateway G is connected to a public communication network K, to which a computer unit RE is connected on the customer side. Furthermore, a switching unit S is connected to the public communication network K, which monitors or controls the use of the network K by the customer.
- Switching unit S can be a conventional charge meter system from a communications provider (e.g. Weg, AOL)
- the computer unit RE and the field devices F1, F2 and G can exchange data via the communication network K.
- field devices are conceivable which additionally have communication interfaces and functions which correspond to those of the gateway.
- the field devices themselves take on the functions of the gateway.
- a field device F3 is shown as an example, which is additionally connected to an external communication module M, which at least partially has the communication interfaces and functions corresponding to the gateway G.
- an external communication module M With the communication module M, field devices can easily be connected to the public communication network K. It is conceivable that the communication module M optionally contains only the necessary communication interface and the necessary communication software is integrated in the field device F3.
- a field device F4 which itself has an integrated communication interface and the necessary functions which correspond to those of the gateway G. Field devices designed in this way themselves perform the functions of the gateway G.
- the field device F1 detects a measured value MW z. B. the level in a storage tank Ll, which is to be transmitted via the public communication network K to the computer unit RE of the customer.
- the customer selects z. B. to a special fee-based service number, corresponding to the 0190 numbers known in the Federal Republic of Germany, via which a communication link between the computer unit RE and the gateway G or the field device F1 is established directly.
- the computer unit RE sends a corresponding signal directly to the gateway G or via the gateway G to the corresponding field device F1.
- the desired information is then transmitted, e.g. B. the current measured value MW of the field device F1 to the computer unit RE.
- the transmission takes place as analog or digital data.
- the transmission of the signals is monitored in the switching unit S. ,
- a base charge value is determined in the switching unit from the communication connection between the computer unit RE and the gateway G.
- the charge units can be summed up during the duration of the communication connection.
- the charge unit per time cycle can also be specified in the switching unit S.
- These fee units represent a fee base value from which the usage fees for the field device F1 are obtained.
- the gateway G selects a service number of its own accord and transmits the desired information (eg measured values) to the customer's computer unit RE.
- the desired information eg measured values
- the gateway G selects a service number of its own accord and transmits the desired information (eg measured values) to the customer's computer unit RE.
- the computer unit RE instead of the computer unit RE, several computer units that are networked via a local network are also conceivable.
- the gateway G is activated via a server SE (for example: Internet server), whereupon the gateway G connects to the Internet, a customer network or a single computer via a service number.
- a server SE for example: Internet server
- the measurement data can also be in the form of data messages, e.g. as an email to the customer.
- a measuring point which consists of one or more field devices, is queried via a server SE (for example an Internet server) which, when a specific field device is requested, connects to the gateway G and thus via a service number to the connected field device.
- a server SE for example an Internet server
- data packet-oriented connections are also conceivable.
- Modern transmission technologies are necessary for this, examples include DSL technology, WLAN spots, GPRS or UMTS.
- the time period for the connection is no longer decisive, but the amount of data that is exchanged between the individual communication participants is calculated.
- the fee base values are shown in a corresponding Switching unit S generated in an access node of the telecommunications provider.
- SMS Short messages via known mobile radio networks
- usage fees per data packet can be individually configured via the number of the data exchange center.
- So-called SIM cards are used in mobile radio networks to identify the subscribers. If the data transmission between gateway G and the computer unit RE takes place via a mobile radio network, then individual prices can be set per amount of data transmitted in accordance with the SIM card used in the gateway G.
- the usage fees are automatically charged to the customer.
- Existing infrastructures and accounting systems can be used for this. It is conceivable that the customer receives a monthly invoice from the telecommunications service provider who is responsible for the transmission of the signals, and this invoice shows a portion of the invoice amount that corresponds to the use of the field devices. The telecommunications service provider forwards this amount to the provider of the field devices after the invoice has been paid by the end customer.
- the main advantage of the invention is that the usage fees for a field device are automatically d. H. without additional units to be installed on the field device or in the communication network.
- the method according to the invention is particularly suitable in the field of industrial inventory data monitoring (inventory control) or control of logistics chains (supply chain management). In both areas, the corresponding application programs are based on current measured values from remote systems.
