Patent ID: 7082340

Claim:
A system for the diagnosis and for the parameterization of devices ( 1 , 12 , 19 ) forming sensors, actuators or controls and connected to a bus system, wherein device parameters can be read out of the device ( 1 , 12 , 19 ) and can be transmitted into the device ( 1 , 12 , 19 ) and device parameters read out and to be transmitted can be displayed visually by a display unit ( 17 , 4 ) using said system, characterized in that the system includes a communication engine ( 7 ) for the communication, defined by the reading out and the transmission of device parameters, of the system with the device ( 1 , 12 , 19 ) as well as a visualization engine ( 8 ) separate from the communication engine ( 7 ) for the visualization of the device parameters by the display unit ( 17 , 4 ), with the communication engine ( 7 ) and the visualization engine ( 8 ) being connected to one another via device-independent interfaces ( 9 ) for the exchange of data and the communication engine ( 7 ) being formed independently of the display unit ( 17 , 4 ) used; that the system is integrated into the device ( 19 ); and that the display unit is formed by a computer ( 17 ) having a display ( 4 ) (display computer) which is connected to the device ( 19 ) via a network connection ( 15 , 16 ).
