Abstract:
1. A setting system of field devices comprising: a first communication path connected to each of the field devices; a terminal device that performs a first setting for each of the field devices through the first communication path; a relay device connected to each of the field devices; and a second communication path formed between each of the field devices and the terminal device via the relay device, the second communication path being different from the first communication path, wherein the terminal device comprising: a receiving unit that receives an input operation of information; a first setting unit that performs the first setting for each of the field devices by transmitting information necessary for the first setting from the terminal device to each of the field devices through the second communication path in response to the input operation received by the receiving unit; and a second setting unit that performs a second setting for the terminal device, the second setting being necessary with the first setting for each of the field devices in response to the input operation received by the receiving unit, wherein the relay device is a setting terminal device having an operation unit configured to receive an input operation by a user, and the setting terminal device is configured to perform the first setting for each of the field devices connected to the setting terminal device by receiving the input operation via the operation unit in a state in which the setting terminal device is directly connected to each of the field devices, and wherein the terminal device functions as a terminal device on which a DTM frame, a DeviceDTM, and a virtual CommDTM operates, and the relay device includes the DTM frame, a Comm DTM, and a virtual DeviceDTM.
