Patent ID: 7953419

Claim:
A method for integrating wirelessly-communicating network nodes of a process environment into a data communication network by a commissioning facility, comprising: at least one processor communicatively coupled with the commissioning facility that performs an operation of integrating the network nodes including: generating a visualization of at least a part of the process environment on an output unit of the commissioning facility as a visualized process environment; detecting a current spatial position of the commissioning facility; showing the commissioning facility in accordance with the current position thereof in the visualized process environment; detecting an identification signal of a network node belonging to the process environment; determining a relative spatial position for the network node in relation to the current spatial position of the commissioning device; generating a proposal for assignment of the identification signal detected, for a node model stored in a database, based on the relative spatial position determined, in relation to the current spatial position of the commissioning device; showing the node model proposed for assignment in the visualized process environment; assigning the network node to the proposed node model by storing address information present in the identification signal of the network node in a variable of the node model proposed for assignment; and showing, after said assigning, a representation of the network node in the visualized process environment.
