    Abstract: A charge balanced feedback type transmitter (10) generates charge packets representative of a sensed parameter. Improved performance is achieved by the addition of resistance (R1), (R2) connected between a charge packet generating reactance (C1), (C2), (CL1), (CL2) and an integrator (30) to reduce the effects of noise caused by switching transients and by ground noise which is coupled to the charge packet generating circuitry (12) by stray capacitance. The charge packets are integrated by the integrator (30), and the integrator output is supplied from a selective basis to the input of a comparator (32). The output of the comparator (32) is used to control the application of balance. The input of the comparator (32) is selectively connected to the output of the integrator (30), to a first supply voltage, or to a second supply voltage to ensure a stable output of the comparator (32) at a critical time when charge is being supplied to the integrator (30).

    Abstract: Conversion circuitry (40) for use in a process control system (10) is adapted for coupling to a primary process control loop (26). Digital receiver circuitry (46, 52) in the conversion circuitry (40) receives a digital signal transmitted over the primary process control loop (26) from a field transmitter (22) and responsively provides a digital output. A microprocessor (50) receives the digital output and responsively provides a secondary loop control output. Secondary loop control circuitry (62) for coupling to a secondary process control loop (58) receives the secondary loop control output from the microprocessor (50) and responsively controls current flowing through the secondary process control loop (58). The current flowing through the secondary process control loop (58) is related to the digital signal transmitted by the field transmitter (22).

    Abstract: An improved error detection for microprocessor-based transmitters in two-wire process control loops operating in the process control industry. In particular, techniques are shown which are useful in solving malfunctions or failures of microprocessor-based transmitters. When the transmitter (6) is energized, the impedance of the process loop cabling is resolved and stored, displayed or transmitted as desired. The loop impedance is used to calculate potential of a power supply used to power the control loop. This information is used in testing the two-wire loop.

    Abstract: A three wire transmitter (50) bidirectionally communicates AC signals to and from a first external device (59) and sends DC signals to a second external device (59). The transmitter (50) includes a sensor circuit (52) and a communication circuit (70), both energized from power (66) and common (69) terminals of the transmitter (50). The communication circuit (70) receives a sensor output indicating a sensed process variable and provide DC and AC signals to a signal terminal (68) which connects to both external devices (59), and also receives AC signals from the first external device (59). The DC signal is representative of the sensed process variable and the AC signal is digitally representative of the sensed process variable and of transmitter data selected by the received AC signal.
