  • Such field devices of process instrumentation usually have a communication interface for transmitting measured process variables, for example pressure or temperature, parameters, for example a measuring range, or other characteristics, for example the type number or serial number of the respective field device.
  • This interface can be designed as a standardized fieldbus interface, for example according to the HART, PROFIBUS or FF standard, or, in the case of very simple devices designed for the lower cost segment, as a manufacturer-specific interface.
  • the communication interface serves to integrate the field device into an automation network of the process plant by means of a point-to-point or bus connection.
  • the communication interface of the field device is used exclusively for the measurement value and parameter communication during operation or for the configuration of the parameters in the commissioning phase.
  • This has the disadvantage that the information stored in the field device is accessible to the field device interface only after it has been installed in the process engineering system or after a specially configured communication device has been connected.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a way with which in a simple way already stored in the FeId- device information can be accessed before the field device is integrated into an automation network.
  • the invention has the advantage that information about the field device already in the packaged state can be easily determined by a remote read / write device. This information can be used in particular to improve the logistics at the manufacturer and to facilitate the preparation of the application by the user.

  • additional customer-specific parameters can be stored in the electronics unit of the transport packaging, for example the position of the planned installation location in the form of its location coordinates.
  • a custom design of the packaging depending on the wirelessly transmitted information on the field device is possible.
  • Identification parameters of the field device are made available via the wireless interface of the transport packaging corresponding read / write devices. This enables seamless monitoring of the goods transfer from the manufacturer to the end customer.
  • the electronics unit of the transport packaging can be designed such that it first activates the field device via its communication interface, then transmits the desired parameters and then deactivates the field device again.
  • parameters not directly related to the field device for example the position of the installation location or other installation instructions, can be stored for the fitter of the field device in the electronics unit of the transport packaging. The field device must first be removed from its transport packaging immediately prior to installation in the process engineering system.
  • the fitter prefferably reads out and display the installation and commissioning instructions stored in the field device or in the electronics unit of the transport packaging by means of a suitable read / write device.
  • a suitable read / write device In order to determine the correct installation location for the field device, it is thus possible to use location coordinates in conjunction with a localization system or a localization function already integrated in the transport packaging, which can be realized, for example, by the electronic unit of the transport packaging.
  • a data memory for temporary storage of field device data in the electronics unit of the transport packaging allows quick access of a remote read / write device to the data, since only the communication connection between the read / write device and the electronic unit has to be activated for this purpose.
  • the power consumption of the field device and of the electronics unit can be reduced since the required data only has to be transferred once between the field device and the electronic unit. For later access by another remote read / write device no further activation of the field device with its wired communication interface is required more.
  • a particularly reliable contacting is achieved by providing the interface of the electronics unit for communication between the field device and the electronics unit in the transport packaging with a connection plug which corresponds to a connection socket of the communication interface of the field device.
  • the electronic unit is provided with an energy storage device for supplying the auxiliary energy required for its operation.
  • the energy storage can be performed for example as a battery or rechargeable battery. This has the advantage that a power supply connection can be dispensed with on the transport packaging.
  • the transport packaging can also be used in potentially explosive atmospheres if the electronics unit is designed in such a way that it meets the requirements of the intrinsic safety type of protection.
  • An embodiment of the transport packaging as reusable reusable packaging has the advantage that the transport packaging after unpacking the field device and returning the packaging to the manufacturer can again serve as a transport packaging of a field device. This reduces the costs of transport packaging and saves resources.
  • an RFID interface as a wireless interface for communication between a remote read / write device and the electronic unit of the transport packaging has the advantage that a low-cost and very common technique is used. This is characterized by a particularly low energy consumption.
  • an active radio interface may be used, for example, the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. Such interfaces are often used for wireless sensor networks and are therefore often identical to the radio interface used in many field devices rather than a wired interface.
  • the use of such a wireless interface in the electronics unit of the transport packaging has the advantage that a field device with a wired communication interface in the new transport packaging of a field device with wireless communication interface in a conventional packaging View of the remote read / write device does not differ. This reduces the implementation effort.

  • the figure shows an embodiment of a transport packaging 1, which is suitable for example for a field device in the manner of a temperature transducer in the design of a head transmitter.
  • a transport packaging 1 can also be used for other housing forms of field devices and can be used, for example, in pressure transmitters, if a housing cover for releasing electrical contact surfaces for realizing the wired interface between field device and transport packaging removed and separated from the field device in the Transport packaging is used.
  • the wireless interface 6 is, as already shown above, for communication with a remote read / write device 8. It can be implemented, for example, as an RFID interface, alternatively as an interface according to the standard IEEE 802.15.4.

It should be emphasized in particular that eliminates the possibility of wireless communication of all necessary data packaging / unpacking of the field device at the various stations of its production and application. After installation of the field device, the transport packaging 1 can be returned to the manufacturer and reused for the next field device. With a corresponding expression of the energy storage device 4, it can be recharged wirelessly in an advantageous manner, so that its replacement is eliminated.
  • the application of the transport packaging 1 will be briefly explained below. After the final test of the field device 2 at the manufacturer this is used in the transport packaging 1, whereby a connection over the contact surfaces of the communication interface 7 to the wired interface 5 of the transport packaging 1 is produced.
