An automation technology field device includes operating electronics and a plurality of parameters. The operating electronics are designed to operate the field device based on the parameters and obtain and process data based on the parameters. A firmware is a software container allocated to the operating electronics. The software container is designed to execute the installed code to establish, using the code, a communication connection to a distributed ledger via at least one of the outputs is a higher-level communication network, to integrate the field device in the distributed ledger-and to process and/or combine at least one part of the obtained and processed data into result data and to transmit the result data to the distributed ledger.

A method for setting up and/or updating the programming of a second control unit of a transportation device includes operating a first control unit of the transportation device in a first functional scope for setting up and/or updating the programming of a second control unit of the transportation device, setting up or updating the programming of the second control unit by the first control unit, and setting up the first control unit for a second functional scope. A system by which the method of the invention may be implements is also described.
