Abstract

A device and method for extracting digital data from field devices of a process control system connected to a controller on a first network supported by a first protocol for transmission of the digital data to a second network using a second protocol. A bridging device connected to the first network and to the second network includes a first transmission path coupled to the first network that provides bi-directional communication between the field devices and the controller. A second transmission path operatively couples the first network to an extraction component associated with each field device. Each extraction component extracts digital data from the first protocol from each field device connected to the first network. A conversion component operatively coupled to each extraction component is arranged to receive the digital data and convert the digital data into the second protocol for transmission of the digital data on the second network.
