Abstract

Exemplary embodiments relate to a process control system for the automated control of the process-engineering installations with a device management system, wherein the process control system includes at least one central facility and also a plurality of field devices. The device management system includes at least one function for integrating a field device into the process control system. For the purpose of transmitting experiences of the users to the system provider, at least one component of the process control system includes a user interface for rating the integration solution, capturing the rating, and transmitting the rating from the user to a system provider for evaluation.

Claims (12)

1 . A process control system for the automated control of process-engineering installations with a device management system, the process control system comprising:

at least one central facility; and

a plurality of field devices connected to the at least one central facility;

wherein the device management system has at least one integration solution function for integrating a field device into the process control system via the at least one central facility; and

wherein at least one component of the process control system is configured to:

a) provide a user with an interface for rating the integration solution,

b) capture the user rating, and

c) transmit the user rating to a system provider for evaluation.

2 . The process control system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rating of the integration solution is standardized by a limited number of rating levels.

3 . The process control system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the rating of the integration solution has a multilevel structure.

4 . The process control system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the standardized rating is complemented by a free text box.

5 . The process control system as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the standardized rating is complemented by a free text box.
