Abstract

Disclosed is a method for starting-up by means of a service unit a field device of automation technology mounted on a component, especially a container, at a measuring location, wherein the service unit has a display unit and a camera, comprising: identifying the field device by means of the service unit; based on the identifying of the field device, ascertaining parameters of the field device to be set; registering geometry data of at least a part of the component by means of the camera; analyzing the registered geometry and, by means of the analyzing of the registered geometry, deriving at least one parameter value for at least one of the parameters to be set; confirming the calculated parameter value; and transferring the confirmed parameter value into the field device and storing the parameter value in the field device.
