Abstract
There is described a method, wherein an interpreter program is executed on a control device and is adapted to access scripts having display components and program architectures. Said program architectures are enabled to access operating data of the firmware of the control device, said operational data being convertible to display data of a defined display format and vice versa. The scripts are run, the program architectures compiling the corresponding result in the form of display components with optionally the display data in the defined display format and making the result available to the operating/monitoring device. A display program is executed on the reporting/monitoring device in order to display at least the display components in the defined display format. References to at least one script on the control device are deposited in the display components. These references are connected to an event, and the interpreter program initiates and runs the corresponding script when this event occurs. The operating/monitoring device can no longer directly access the sensitive firmware of the control device. Communication is carried out via an interpreter program. Access to the actual c…
