Abstract: A field device system configured to determine a process variable, the field device system comprising: a housing, the housing comprising a first NFC-circuit configured to receive and store information; a sensor module comprising a sensor and a second NFC-circuit configured to store configuration information of the sensor, the sensor module being configured to acquire a sensing signal indicative of a process variable value; and an electronics module arranged in the housing and comprising sensing circuitry configured to communicate with the sensor module to receive the sensing signal from the sensor module, the electronics module comprising a third NFC-circuit configured to read configuration information of the sensor module from the second NFC-circuit and to write configuration information of the sensor module and configuration information of the electronics module to the first NFC-circuit.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for aligning components. Misalignment is calculated based on sensed values with a controller illustrating a process for data acquisition with graphical icons and indicia that include and/or are based on sensed data. The alignment process also includes graphical icons showing the process for alignment and the direction and amount of correction needed to achieve adequate alignment.
