Abstract: An industrial process field device includes a piezoelectric transducer, a sensor circuit, a test circuit, a controller and a communications circuit. The sensor circuit generates a sensor signal indicating a process variable based on a voltage across the piezoelectric transducer. The test circuit is configured to apply a voltage pulse having a pulse voltage to the piezoelectric transducer that induces a response signal, and capture peak positive and negative voltages of the response signal. The controller calculates a current condition value of the piezoelectric transducer based on the peak positive voltage, the peak negative voltage and the pulse voltage, and generates a diagnostic test result based on a comparison of the current condition value to a reference condition value corresponding to a properly operating piezoelectric transducer. The communications circuit communicates the process variable and the diagnostic test result to an external control unit over a process control loop.

Abstract: A process pressure transmitter includes transmitter electronics disposed within a housing. The transmitter electronics includes a communications circuit coupled to a processing system and an analog to digital converter disposed within the housing. The analog to digital converter electrically is coupled to the transmitter electronics. A pressure sensor comprises a cell body defining an interior cavity. A deflectable diaphragm comprising a second material is coupled to the cell body and separates the interior cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity. The deflectable diaphragm includes a groove region located around a periphery of the deflectable diaphragm. The first and second cavities each contain a dielectric fill-fluid, each of the fill fluids adapted to receive a pressure and exert a corresponding force on the diaphragm, and the diaphragm is deflectable in response to differences in the pressures received by the fill-fluids in the first and second cavities. A first electrode is capacitively coupled to the diaphragm to form a first variable capacitor and a first lead wire electrically connects to the first electrode. A second electrode is capacitively coupled to the diaphragm to form a second capacitor and a second lead wire is electrically coupled to the second electrode. The first and second lead wires are electrically coupled to the analog to digital converter.

Abstract: A heating assembly includes a heater extending in a longitudinal direction from a first end to a second end. Heat transfer fins are thermally coupled to the heater and extend in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction. An airflow component is positioned proximate one of the first and second end and is configured to generate airflow along the plurality of heat transfer fins toward the other of the first and second end.

Abstract: A thermowell assembly for use in measuring a temperature of a process fluid includes an elongate thermowell body configured to mount to a process vessel and extend into the process fluid. An elongate bore extends along a length of the thermowell body from a proximal end of the thermowell body proximate a wall of the process vessel to a sealed distal end of the thermowell body positioned in the process fluid. A side bore extends from an exterior of the thermowell assembly to the elongate bore. The side bore is positioned outside of the process vessel. A verification valve includes an inlet coupled to the side bore at the exterior of the thermowell assembly and further includes an outlet.

Abstract: An industrial process monitor for monitoring an industrial process includes a controller configured to control operation of the industrial process monitor. An ambient environment sensor is configured to sense an ambient environment of the industrial process proximate the device and responsively provide a sensor output signal. Output circuitry is configured to provide an output based upon the sensor output signal. The controller causes the ambient environment sensor to enter a high power mode upon detection of an anomaly and/or probable anomaly in the sensor output signal.

Abstract: A field device for monitoring a process variable of an industrial process includes an image capture device. A process component exhibits relative motion as a function of a process variable. The image captures device captures an image which changes due to the relative motion of the process component. An image processor coupled to the image capture device detects relative motion of the process component and measures the process variable based upon the detected relative motion. Output circuitry provides an output related to the measured process variable.

Abstract: A remote seal assembly for a process transmitter includes a seal body containing a cavity sealed by a diaphragm. The seal body configured to be mounted to a process element containing a process fluid such that a first side of the diaphragm is exposed to the process fluid. A capillary contains a fill fluid that is in fluid communication with the cavity and a second side of the diaphragm. A coupling has a capillary recess and two cavities separated by a second diaphragm. The capillary extends through the capillary recess and connects to the coupling such that the fill fluid in the capillary is in fluid communication with one of the two cavities and the second diaphragm. A thermally conductive element preferably extends continuously along the capillary from the seal body toward the coupling and into the capillary recess without contacting the coupling.
