    Abstract: A diagnostic device (100) for use in a industrial process includes monitoring electronics or diagnostic circuitry configured to diagnose or identify a condition or other occurrence in the industrial process. The system can be implemented in a process device such as a flowmeter, and in one example an acoustic flowmeter. A transducer can also be used and a frequency response, such as resonant frequency, can be observed.

    Abstract: A process control system (10) utilizes wireless transceivers to divorce the field devices (14, 30) from traditional wired network topologies. By providing field devices (14, 30) with wireless transceivers (22) and shared wireless transceivers (36) for adapting wired field devices (30), the field device network may be adapted to any number of network topologies without concern for additional wiring costs. Specifically, a power supply (18, 26) can be provided for each field device (14) or for groups of field devices, as needed. Thus, the entire network can receive power from a single power bus (32), without expensive power filtering. In addition, the network can be a hybrid in which part of the information is transmitted and received over wired lines and part is transmitted and received over wireless communications.

    Abstract: A two-wire field-mounted process device (16) with multiple isolated channels includes a channel that can be an input channel or an output channel. The given input or output channel can be coupled to multiple sensors or actuators (32, 34), respectively. The process device (16) is wholly powered by the two-wire process control loop (14). The process device (16) includes a controller (40) adapted to measure one or more characteristics of sensors (20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30) coupled to an input channel (42, 44, 46) and to control actuators coupled to an output channel (48). The controller can be further adapted to execute a user generated control algorithm relating process input information with process output commands. The process device also includes a loop communicator (36) that is adapted to communicate over the two-wire loop.
