Abstract: A field device configuration tool includes: a user interface; a processing unit; and a memory. The processing unit controls the user interface to present information for a parameter of a field device on a display of the user interface. The user interface enables a user of the field device to input a semantic identification ID for the parameter of the field device. The processing unit maps the semantic identification ID to the parameter for the field device as a mapping. The processing unit saves the mapping between the semantic ID and the parameter in the memory as a saved mapping.

Abstract: A system and method for configuring a field device for use in an industrial plant includes creating, from device description information of the field device, and/or from a template configuration, T, stored in association with the field device and/or in association with a type of the field device, an instance of a configuration for the field device; setting values of configuration parameters in the instance to default values given by the device description information, and/or to values given by the template T; determining semantic meanings of configuration parameters in the instance; obtaining, from a data store, values of configuration parameters stored in association with the field device and semantic meanings; writing each value obtained from the data store to a configuration parameter in the instance whose semantic meaning matches the semantic meaning of the value; and provisioning the field device with the instance of the configuration.

Abstract: A method for configuring a new field device in an industrial plant includes detecting the new device, obtaining driver information including configuration parameters of the new device; determining the previously used field device, determining whether the driver information for the new device matches that for the previously used device. In case of a match, provisioning the new device with the previously used configuration parameters, and in case of no match, provisioning the new device with new configuration parameters.
