FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: method of communication with the use of infrastructure made according to the standard FDT (Field Device Tool), with device working in process control medium and having communication connection with communication link, including: method of communication with the use of infrastructure made according to the standard FDT (Field Device Tool), with device working in process control medium and having communication connection with communication link, including: generation of copy of process performed with the possibility of scanning of device type manager (DTM) of "device" type that represents the said device in FDT infrastructure; communication connection of this DTM copy with communication link corresponding to the said communication link; scanning of the said communication link with the aim to detect the said device using the said copy of DTM; and obtaining the address of detected device in DTM made with the possibility of scanning.
EFFECT: simplification of devices configuration and management in FDT infrastructure, thus reducing the probability of human error.
