  • Publication number: 20150058480
    Abstract: A measuring instrument access apparatus receives a data packet for a field device unit and extracts external addressing information and instruction information. The measuring instrument access apparatus forwards the extracted information to a management device. The management device translates a field device feature from the external addressing information into internal addressing information of the field device unit and forwards a request to the field device unit.

  • Patent number: 7916117
    Abstract: A lighting arrangement for a field unit screen is provided. The lighting arrangement comprises a circuit arrangement for a field unit with a power measuring device, a power distribution device, and a luminous device. The power measuring device and the power distribution device are adapted for determining an existing power and forwarding a surplus power to a screen light drive device. The screen light drive device determines whether the existing power is sufficient for lighting, and drives a luminous device when sufficient power is available. The luminous device comprises a light distribution device and a light generating device.

  • Patent number: 7640801
    Abstract: An electronics insert arrangement for a measuring device includes an electronics insert and an electronics module. The electronics insert includes a first attachment device and a first interface. The electronics module includes a second attachment device and a second interface. For coupling the electronics module to the electronics insert, the first attachment device and the second attachment device can be brought to engage each other such that a space between the first interface and the second interface remains essentially constant when the electronics insert moves. The electronics insert is equipped to carry out processes of a first functionality, and the electronics module is equipped to carry out processes of a second functionality.

  • Patent number: 7397657
    Abstract: Described is an input and output device for inputting or outputting data of an electronic equipment. The input and output device is designed for being detachably mounted to the electronic equipment in at least two different positions. The input and output device features a first contacting arrangement which, independent of the selected position in the mounted state of the input and output device on the electronic equipment, electrically comes in connection with a second contacting arrangement present on the electronic equipment. In one embodiment, orientation of the device may be varied, thereby enabling it to be coupled to a receiver by a bayonet connection and with a set of contacting arrangement engaging the second contacting arrangement in any orientation. Moreover, described are an operating and display module, as well as to a combination of an electronic equipment and an input and output device that can be detachably mounted thereto.

  • Publication number: 20080011287
    Abstract: Field devices for measuring a pressure or a fill level are connected with an external energy supply through a cable connector. An energy supply unit for a field device is provided, which has a housing and a solar module integrated therein. The housing is hereby used for receiving the measurement electronics of the field device and the solar module of the energy supply. An external energy supply is thus not necessary anymore. For energy buffering, furthermore, a respective energy storage may be provided.
