Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	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 a Profibus network that communicates using a Profibus input/output communication protocol includes a configuration database that stores configuration information pertaining to the first device network and configuration information pertaining to the Profibus device network, a data access routine that automatically requests configuration information pertaining to the first device network and configuration information pertaining to the Profibus device network and a configurator that configures the Profibus device network based on the Profibus device network configuration information. The configurator stores the Profibus 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 Profibus device network within the process control system.
