Abstract
A system and method for the automated checking of I/O loops of a process automation system is disclosed that includes a dongle configured to be installed on a terminal block and make an electrical connection to at least one I/O loop. Operating software communicates with the dongle and to a database of I/O loop data. The operating software constructs an I/O loop check file using the database of I/O loop data and downloads the I/O loop check file to the dongle, where the dongle uses the I/O loop check file to test the I/O loop.
