Abstract
A field device, wherein only those faults are displayed, which are relevant for the particular application of the user. The field device includes: a means for detecting a plurality of field-device-specific faults and for generating associated field-device-specific fault reports; a memory for storing an application-specific fault report profile, which contains exclusively those field-device-specific faults, which are relevant for a particular application; an interface, via which a user provides the fault report profile and stores such in memory; and a means for output of fault reports, which exclusively outputs fault reports of faults contained in the fault report profile.

12. A field device, comprising:
-
a means for detecting a plurality of field-device-specific faults and for generating associated field-device-specific fault reports; a memory for storing an application-specific fault report profile, which exclusively contains field-device-specific faults relevant for a certain application, an interface, via which a user provides the fault report profile and stores such in said memory; and means for output of fault reports, which exclusively outputs fault reports of faults contained in the fault report profile. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method for creation and use of an application-specific fault report profile for a field device which has means for detecting a plurality of field-device-specific faults and for generating associated field-device-specific fault reports, and which has an interface, via which a user defines a fault report profile specific for an application, the method comprising the steps of:
-
selecting, from the plurality of field-device-specific fault reports, fault reports relevant for the application and storing such in a fault report profile specific for the application; and outputting fault reports of faults contained in the fault report profile exclusively by the field device. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)

20. A method for creation and use of an application-specific fault report profile for a field device which has a means for detecting a plurality of field-device-specific faults and for generating associated field-device-specific fault reports, wherein at least some of the faults are stored in at least one prefabricated profile portion that contains a predefined set of faults, and which has an interface, via which a user defines a fault report profile specific for an application, the method comprising the steps of:
-
selecting from the plurality of field-device-specific fault reports, individually and/or via the selection of at least one prefabricated profile portion, fault reports relevant for the application and storing such in a fault report profile specific for the application; displaying each first time occurring fault of such fault report profile; the user ascertaining during the first-time occurrence of a particular fault, whether such fault remains in the fault report profile or whether it is deleted from the fault report profile and subsequently no longer displayed; and the field device subsequently outputs exclusively fault reports of faults remaining in the fault report profile.
