Abstract:
A functional board that is configured to accommodate different data protocols for “off-board” communication. These configurations may find use in metrology hardware, for example, utility meters that measures volumetric flow of fluids like gas or water. In one implementation, the functional board may include a circuit board and a pair of circuit cards coupled to the circuit board to communicate with one another using a first communication protocol. The pair of circuit cards may include at least one that is removable from the circuit board and comprises an interface unit that transmits and receives incoming signals in a second communication protocol that is different from the first communication protocol.

Claim (Index 11):
Industrial hardware, comprising:\n a main circuit board; a first card coupled to the main circuit board; and a second card removeably replaceable from the main circuit board and capable of exchanging data with the first card using a first data format, wherein the second card has a processor with access to executable instructions that configured the processor to covert data from the first data format to a second data format that is different from the first data format.
