Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a processor configured to execute: a commissioning system configured to operatively couple a field device to a control system; a decommissioning system configured to operatively uncouple the field device from the control system; and a graphical user interface (GUI) configured to use the commissioning system, the decommissioning system, or a combination thereof, to operatively couple the field device to the control system, operatively uncouple the field device to the control system, or a combination thereof, by using a plurality of field device states comprising a mismatched state and a commissioned state, wherein the commissioning system is configured to transition the field device from the mismatched state into the commissioned state if the field device is determined to be in the mismatched state, and wherein the commissioning system is configured to determine if a first permanent node identification (ID) assigned to the field device is available for commissioning, and if the first permanent node ID is available, then to assign a first physical device (PD) tag to the field device and to skip a second permanent node ID deletion and a second permanent node ID reassignment.
