Abstract:
A field device (108) for use in an industrial process (100) includes a housing (110) having a cavity (112) formed therein. A humidity-sealed electronics module (126) has a first compartment (146) formed therein and is positioned in the cavity (112). The humidity-sealed electronics module (126) includes a seal board. The seal board separates the first compartment (146) of the humidity sealed electronics module (126) from a second compartment (130) in the housing (110). A first electrical component (124) in the first compartment (146) is mounted to the seal board and a second electrical component (122) in the second compartment (130) is electrically connected to the first electrical component (124).
Abstract:
A sensor assembly with a sensing element sends a sensor signal from the sensing element to attached process transmitter over sensor connection wires. The sensor assembly has memory circuitry for storing information related to the sensor assembly and interface circuitry that provides for digital communication of the stored information with the attached process transmitter. This digital communication is sent over the sensor connection wires.
Abstract:
A plug-and-play sensor peripheral component includes an electrically conductive physical connector; an electrical connector; a transformer; and an RF communication and data storage circuit. The electrical connector is electrically connected to the physical connector by a first conductive path. The transformer is electrically connected to the RF communication and data storage circuit. The transformer and the RF communication and data storage circuit are electrically isolated from the physical connector and the electrical connector. Electrically connecting the physical connector to the electrical connector by other than the first conductive path inductively couples the RF communication and data storage circuit to the first conductive path.

Abstract:
Un componente periférico de sensor de enchufar y usar incluye un conector físico conductor de electricidad; un conector eléctrico; un transformador; y un circuito de comunicación de RF y almacenamiento de datos. El conector eléctrico es vinculado eléctricamente al conector físico por una primera ruta conductora. El transformador se vincula eléctricamente al circuito de comunicación de RF y almacenamiento de datos. El transformador y el circuito de comunicación de RF y almacenamiento de datos se aíslan eléctricamente del conector físico y el conector eléctrico. La vinculación eléctrica del conector físico al conector eléctrico por otra ruta diferente de la primera ruta conductora acopla inductivamente el circuito de comunicación de RF y almacenamiento de datos a la primera ruta conductora.
