    Abstract: A preexisting voltage across a sensor (18) is latched to a storage capacitor (C1) prior to any excitation current being applied to the sensor (18). Once the excitation current is applied, the voltage on the storage capacitor (C1) is directly subtracted from a differential voltage across the sensor (18). The subtraction is done before a measurement is converted to a digital value and passed to a transmitter (10). The subtraction is performed in hardware, and a time required to sample and hold the preexisting voltage across the storage capacitor is within a settling time used for collecting any sensor measurements.

    Abstract translation: 在任何激励电流施加到传感器(18)之前,传感器(18)上的预先存在的电压被锁存到存储电容器(C1)。 一旦施加了激励电流,则存储电容器(C1)上的电压直接从传感器(18)上的差分电压中减去。 在将测量转换为数字值并传送到发射机(10)之前进行减法。 减法在硬件中执行,并且在存储电容器之间采样和保持预先存在的电压所需的时间在用于收集任何传感器测量值的建立时间内。

    Abstract: A process variable transmitter (10) includes a memory (16) that stores a filtered sensor value that is calculated based on a prior received sensor value and a filtered rate of change value that is calculated based on a prior rate of change value. The process variable transmitter (10) also includes a controller (14) that receives a sensor value and compares it to the filtered sensor value to obtain a rate of change value. The controller (14) also compares the rate of change value to the filtered rate of change value to obtain a deviation value, and generates an output indication, such as a sensor failure warning output, based on the deviation value. This is done within the process variable transmitter (10).
