Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for the application-specific setting of a field device, which is installed in a defined application in a process in automation engineering and determines or monitors at least one process variable of a medium, comprising: recording a diagnostic message which occurs or has occurred on the field device during a defined interval, analyzing which of the diagnostic messages are tolerable and/or plausible in the defined application, assigning an application-specific notice with regard to tolerability and/or plausibility to each diagnostic message that has arisen in the defined application, clearing the diagnostic message if this is classified as tolerable and/or plausible in the defined application, and using the application-specific setting of the field device, which clears the diagnostic message classified as tolerable and/or plausible.
