Claim:
1. A method for determining a measured variable, with a measuring device, comprising the steps of: connecting a sensor module to a primary side, inductively coupling, plug connector element and initializing the sensor module; beginning measured value recording directly after initializing the sensor module, wherein said measured values are analog values; converting said analog values into digital values; sending said digital values via a network, the network including a fieldbus or an ethernet network, to a superordinated unit by means of a communication telegram, wherein the communication telegram contains said digital values and a unique identification number, wherein said sensor module can only send said digital values and is not able to receive information from said superordinated unit; identifying said sensor module by the superordinated unit based on said unique identification number; and calculating the actual measured variable in said superordinated unit from said digital values with the help of calculating algorithms, based on required measuring device adjustment and calibration values associated with said sensor module and stored for said sensor module in said superordinated unit or said network, wherein the calibration values are exclusively provided from outside the sensor module.
