  • Publication number: 20240237241
    Abstract: A field device, in particular, a fill-level, point-level, flow, pressure or temperature-measurement device, with a housing, an electrical connection line led into the housing via a cable feedthrough, and a radio module held in the housing for remote data transmission, wherein the radio module is arranged and designed in such a way as to transmit a remote data-transmission signal by means of a field coupling. A section of the connection line located in the housing transmits or receives signal into or out of a section of the connection line located outside the housing. The invention also relates to a method for remote data transmission by means of a radio module housed in a housing of a field device.

  • Patent number: 11898888
    Abstract: A radiometric measuring device for determining a mass flow of a bulk material on a conveyor belt including, at least one detector which is configured to detect at least part of radiation of at least one radiation source the emits the radiation in a direction of the bulk material on the conveyor belt, the radiation having at least partially passed through the bulk material and the conveyor belt, at least one evaluation circuit which is configured to determine the mass flow of the bulk material based on the detected radiation; at least one storage means which is set up to store at least one measured value equation, the measured value equation mapping a relationship between the detected radiation and the mass flow, at least one electronic calculation means which is set up to determine, based on at least one calibration measurement without bulk material on the conveyor belt, a correction equation with which the measured value equation is corrected.
