Abstract :
The industrial communication fieldbus protocols have evolved significantly in the last years. The advanced characteristics of instruments diagnosis and the advanced and flexible algorithms for control elaboration are some examples of advancements that have collaborated for this evolution. Considering this evolution, the automation systems have demanded more and more skilled people and tools directed to the configuration process automatization with features that must abstract the system complexity. In this context, it is presented in this paper a fieldbus configuration management approach for automation systems based on software project configuration management concepts and practices.
