Abstract: Digitale Phasenmodulatoren höherer Auflösung, wie sie beispielsweise in faseroptischen Drehratensensoren mit geschlossener Regelschleife verwendet werden, sind wegen der erforderlichen Genauigkeit technologisch schwer herstellbar, insbesondere als Teil eines integrierten optischen Bausteins, der noch andere Funktionen zu erfüllen hat. Mit der Erfindung wird einerseits vorgeschlagen, herstellungs- oder betriebsbedingte Ungenauigkeiten zu kompensieren, und dadurch die Genauigkeit jeder binärgewichteten Flächenelektrode des Phasenmodulators (4) durch speicherprogrammierte Korrekturwerte zu erhöhen. Andererseits ist mit der Erfindung eine erhebliche Erhöhung der Auflösung dadurch möglich, dass ein niedersignifikanter Anteil des binären Ansteuersignals, gegebenenfalls nach Kompensationskorrektur über einen Digital/Analog-Wandler (6) niedriger Auflösung, in ein Analogsignal gewandelt wird, das eine bestimmte oder eine separat vorgesehene weitere Elektrode des digitalen Phasenmodulators (4) beaufschlagt.

Abstract: The invention relates to a management of field devices in industrial process
systems. A maintenance management system collects status and/or diagnostic
data of field devices over a field communication interface in a manner specific
for each type of field device. The system processes the collected data and
provides condition or event data, e.g. alarms and fault and device condition
data to external systems, such as the automation system of a plant, by an
open communication method, which is independent of the type of field device
and the field communication interface. Such open communication methods are
for instance electronic mail, Internet, Intranet, DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange),
short message. The data structure of the event data are preferably independent
of the type of field device, i.e. it is identical for different types of field device.
The invention enables a transmission of limited generic condition data,
which is sufficient for the operator of the plant, to a control room and more accurate
text-based condition data to the maintenance personnel.
