A method for setting energy supply parameters of a field device electrical current supply module. The field device electrical current supply module is connected, in such case, exclusively to one field device. The connected field device can be supplied electrical energy by the field device electrical current supply module. In the method, a field device type of the connected field device is identified first by the field device electrical current supply module. Then, a parameter setting of at least one energy supply parameter of the field device electrical current supply module is automatically read out from a database and this is loaded into the field device electrical current supply module.
