1. A method of commissioning a field device in an industrial system network, the method being implemented by a plug and produce system, the method comprising:
connecting the field device to the industrial system network;
providing, by the field device, information about the field device, the information comprising functional information for the field device;
utilizing the functional information to retrieve, from a server separate from the field device, information relating to a role of the field device in an automation application;
utilizing the functional information to retrieve from the server at least some capability information relating to a field device type of the field device;
utilizing the at least some capability information relating to the field device type and the information relating to the role of the field device in the automation application to retrieve from the server a parameter set for the field device for operation in the automation application; and
downloading the parameter set to the field device,
wherein the functional information for the field device comprises an identity of the field device,
wherein the identity of the field device is determined from one or more of:
a location of the field device in the industrial system network; and
an identity of one or more devices that are neighbors to the field device, and
wherein the identity of the field device is inferred from the industrial system network.
