  • MODULAR INDUSTRIAL TRANSMITTER ARCHITECTURE AND INTERFACE
    Publication number: 20240134357
    Abstract: An industrial communication module includes a controller and a common interface coupled to the controller. The common interface is configured to couple to a plurality of different types of sensor modules. The industrial communication module includes protocol/output circuitry coupled to the controller and configured to provide an output to a remote device. A sensor module includes a controller and a common interface coupled to the controller. The common interface is configured to couple to a plurality of different types of industrial communication modules. The sensor module includes measurement processing circuitry coupled to the controller and configured to measure an analog electrical characteristic of a sensor and provide a digital indication of the measured analog electrical characteristic to the controller.

  • MODULAR TOOL-LESS INTERFACE FOR INDUSTRIAL TRANSMITTER
    Publication number: 20240136696
    Abstract: A modular industrial transmitter includes a communication module and a sensor module. The communication module is configured to communicate with a remote device and has a common interface configured to couple to a plurality of different types of sensor modules. The sensor module is coupled to the common interface of the communication module. Physical coupling of the communication module to the sensor module is performed tool-lessly.

  • Wireless measurement transmitter with replaceable module
    Patent number: 8346191
    Abstract: A measurement transmitter includes a main housing body with a first cavity closed by a first cover and a second cavity closed by a second cover. A measurement circuit assembly in the first cavity includes power and service communication conductors that extend through the main housing body to contacts in the second cavity. A replaceable module plugs into the contacts in the second cavity and includes a primary battery and a service communication connector. The service communication connector is exposed for connection to service equipment by removal of the second cover.
