Patent ID: 12010736

Abstract:
Smart Wireless Adapters are provided herein for establishing communication between measurement devices and a measurement control and data acquisition system in an industrial system. In one aspect, a method of establishing communication between a Pneumatic or Analog measurement device and the measurement control and data acquisition system includes providing a Pneumatic or Analog measurement device and providing a Smart Wireless Adapter capable of electrically and mechanically coupling to the Pneumatic or Analog measurement device. The Pneumatic or Analog measurement device is configured to measure one or more parameters in the industrial system and provide a value or signal indicative of the measured parameters at an output of the Pneumatic or Analog measurement device. Additionally, the Smart Wireless Adapter is coupled to receive the value or signal from the Pneumatic or Analog measurement device and configured to wirelessly transmit data indicative of the value or signal to the measurement control and data acquisition system.
