Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for producing an image of an input/output arrangement for an industrial automation system, comprising storing in a field bus coupler at least one image data file containing image data, transmitting the image data from the image data file to a service computer connected with the field bus coupler, and generating and displaying in the service computer an image that is a function of the image data transmitted from the field bus coupler. Additional image data may be stored in a module for transmittal to the service computer via a sub-bus and the field bus coupler, thereby to generate and display in the service computer a resultant image that is a function of both the image data and the additional image data.
