    Abstract: A method for network configuration in an industrial automation system includes obtaining, by a process control system comprising a plurality of network devices each associated with a network switch, network configuration data; and using the network configuration data to configure the network devices. The network configuration data identifies at least a redundancy protocol to be used by each of the network devices. Obtaining the network configuration data comprises activating one or more network connections of the network switches as a minimum number of network connections for obtaining the network configuration data, and receiving the network configuration data via the one or more activated network connections.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an I/O station for signalling between a network and a plurality of field devices in an automation system. The I/O station comprises an I/O network interface, and a plurality of I/O modules, each providing one or more I/O channels connecting respective one or more field device(s) of the plurality of field devices, whereby each of the field devices is communicatively connected to the network via the I/O module and the network interface. At least one of the I/O modules is an APL I/O module connecting APL field device(s) of the plurality of field devices, and at least one of the I/O modules is a non-APL I/O module connecting non-APL field device(s) of the plurality of field devices. The I/O station is configured for tunnelling data between at least one of the I/O modules and the network.

    IPC: G06F8/65

    Abstract: A method for updating a process control system having a plurality of different hardware units includes providing a firmware data package, connecting a computing unit to an interface unit, transferring the firmware data package to the interface unit, providing current status data comprising information about the different hardware unit and information about the current firmware versions of the different hardware unit, checking whether the different hardware unit and the current firmware versions are compatible with the firmware update data for the different hardware units based on the current status data, and determining a checking result. When the checking result is positive, firmware update data in the different hardware unit is installed, and when the checking result is negative, an incompatibility message is provided.

    Abstract: A system and method for determining the type of an analog sensor device in a process control system comprising at least a terminal block unit comprising four connection ports connectable with an analog sensor device, wherein the sensor device to be determined is a 2-wire connection sensor device, a 3-wire connection sensor device, or a 4-wire connection sensor device. The method includes detecting whether: a predefined resistance value is present for a 2-wire connection sensor device, a 3-wire connection sensor device, a predefined resistance value between two predefined pairs of connection ports of the terminal block unit is provided, or a 4-wire connection sensor device is connected to the terminal block unit.
