Abstract: A measuring device for process technology, having a central unit for the connection of different measurement modules, with the central unit containing a central power supply, to which the measurement modules can be connected. In the measurement module a module power supply is provided, which, from the central power supply, generates one or more supply voltage(s) (V_2, V_3) required by the measurement module. For this purpose, the module power supply has a transformer, a rectifier circuit, or also a switching power supply.
