Summary:In a device engineering method, data of a plant network hierarchy (PNH) and registered devices (RD) in a device management server are synchronized to a device simulation server (SS). In a simulation mode, at least one function of device management system is executed via communicating with simulated devices (SD), while the device management system being not communicatively coupled to any physical control station configured to control physical field devices in a real plant. Virtual parameters are introduced into the SD. For device configuration, simulation is made of configurable device parameters; non-configurable device parameters; and device status, with SD generated from DD files in the PNH for the RD in the FDCS. Parallel communications including sending communication requests from a CRH component to the SD in the PNH from the CRH component in the FDCS to the SD in the PNH are executed simultaneously.
