  • Patent number: 11343319
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and a system for user authentication in an offline mobile calibration or checklist performing device. At first, the work is assigned online in a Calibration Management Software (CMS), where the relevant data is selected and sent to a mobile device. In the field environment as offline, the mobile device requests user credentials from the user, and if valid, the user is able to perform the assigned task. With each obtained result, credentials are asked for saving the results into the mobile device. When the user returns from the field, he/she connects the mobile device with the CMS, and transfers the obtained work data from the mobile device to the CMS.

  • Patent number: 10156880
    Abstract: A process calibrator is formed with functions of a fieldbus communicator. Preferably, functions of a fieldbus communicator support several fieldbus protocols, and it is provided such that the use of it does not hamper the functioning of a process calibrator. This has been achieved by providing the process calibrator with a pair of fieldbus connecting terminals for measuring of the fieldbus signal. The process calibrator comprises a processor, and the pair of fieldbus connecting terminals comprises a signal terminal and a ground terminal. The process calibrator further comprises at least two parallel fieldbus protocol units between the processor and the signal terminal of the pair of fieldbus connecting terminals. Each fieldbus protocol unit is dedicated to its respective fieldbus protocol.

  • Patent number: 9863795
    Abstract: A process calibrator is formed with a user interface, which guides to choose the right connection arrangements of the process calibrator according to the function of the process calibrator. The user interface shows in the display of the process calibrator the connection arrangements of the process calibrator and indicates the place of the connection arrangement assigned to the selected function visually compared to other connection arrangements. The connection arrangements shown by the user interface in the display are placed similarly to the physical connection arrangements of the process calibrator. As the user interface indicates the connection arrangement that is assigned to the selected function of the process calibrator, it is easy for the user to make the right connection.

  • Patent number: 5359877
    Abstract: A method of using calibration instrumentation for determining the operating and reset points for a device having an input and an output. An initial courts test is conducted with a first variable input to establish value areas wherein device state changes occur. The method is suited for calibration testing of industrial instrumentation and is effective when operating and reset points need to be accurately searched over a wide range while minimizing the time required for testing.
