Abstract

The intelligence of modern field devices requires their flexible accessibility to support the engineering of machines and plants. Therefore, the Field Device Tool standard allows integration of field devices supplied by different vendors within a heterogeneous network. In the article, an advanced concept for device integration including modern web technologies is presented. By means of device-independent Web Services, a generic procedure for engineering field devices is provided.
