摘要:A system and method is disclosed for configuring a group of mobile fielddevices using a configuration device (an HMI) is provided. In particular, the HMI isprogrammed to configure identically programmed field devices that are arbitrarilyarranged in an application-dependent formation by defining and providing configurationparameters to the devices via wired and/or wireless communication. In particular, the HMIassigns a unique identifier to respective robots as a function of the position of the robotwithin the formation or the layout of the environment. Accordingly each robot can beefficiently configured by the HMI to operate independently yet as a coordinatedmember of the group and without requiring the robots to be placed in specific positionsduring the initial deployment. This obviates the need for constant independent controlcommands for each robot by a central controller or providing a customized controlprogram to each robot during deployment.
