Method for servicing a field device of automation technology in a radio network
First Claim
1. A method for integrating a field device of automation technology with radio communication into a radio network, in which a number of field devices communicate via radio with a superordinated control unit, comprising the steps of:
- the field device to be integrated is switched, at start-up, respectively, first start-up, into a special start-up mode;
in the special start-up mode, a peer to peer connection to a selected field device, which is already integrated into the radio network, is produced on a specific channel;
integration data are transmitted from the selected field device to the field device to be integrated and configuration of the field device is performed and/or diagnostic data are transmitted from the field device to the selected field device and diagnosis of the field device is performed, wherein the field device is not yet integrated into the radio network; and
integrating the field device into the radio network.

Abstract
A method for integrating a field device of automation technology into a radio network composed of a plurality of field devices, wherein the field device to be integrated switches, or is switched, at start-up, respectively, first start-up, into a special start-up mode, wherein, in the special start-up mode, a peer to peer connection to a service device or to a selected field device is produced on a specific channel and wherein integration data are transmitted from the service device or the selected field device to the field device to be integrated and/or diagnostic data of the field device are transmitted to the service device or to the selected field device.
