Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé pour faire fonctionner un système présentant un appareil de terrain (16) de la technologie d'automatisation de processus et un système de commande (2). On peut commander l'appareil de terrain (16) par le biais du système de commande (2) en utilisant des informations pour l'intégration de l'appareil de terrain (16), en particulier une description de dispositif et/ou un pilote de dispositif de l'appareil de terrain (16). A cet effet, le système de commande (2) contient des informations génériques pour l'intégration de l'appareil de terrain (16) qui peuvent être utilisées pour différents types d'appareils de terrain. En outre, l'appareil de terrain (16) contient des informations spécifiques pour l'intégration de l'appareil de terrain (16) qui comprennent des informations spécifiques pour l'intégration du type spécifique d'appareil de terrain concerné (16). Le procédé selon l'invention présente au moins l'une des étapes suivantes : simulation d'une commande de l'appareil de terrain (16) dans le système de commande (2) en mode hors ligne avec utilisation des informations génériques pour l'intégration de l'appareil de terrain (16) et/ou transmission des informations spécifiques pour l'intégration de l'appareil de terrain (16) de l'appareil de terrain (16) au système de commande (2) en mode en ligne par le biais d'une liaison de communication numérique (14).
