Abstract
A configuration system for use in a process control network having a controller, a first device network that communicates using a first input/output protocol, such as a Fieldbus or a HART device protocol, and an AS-Interface device network that communicates using an AS-Interface input/output communication protocol includes a configuration database that stores configuration information pertaining to the first device network and configuration information pertaining to the AS-Interface device network, a data access routine that automatically requests configuration information pertaining to the first device network and configuration information pertaining to the AS-Interface device network and a configurator that configures the AS-Interface device network based on the AS-Interface device network configuration information. The configurator stores the AS-Interface device network configuration information in the configuration database along with configuration information pertaining to the first device network. A documentation routine accesses the configuration database to display a process control documentation schematic illustrating the configuration of the first device network and the AS-Interface device network within the process control system.
