Abstract:
An external auxiliary switch mechanism having a base device and an expansion module. The base device may incorporate a transceiver and microcontroller connected to the transceiver. The expansion module may incorporate a transceiver and a microcontroller connected to the transceiver. The microcontroller of the expansion module may have a connection to one or more switches and/or a communication module connected to a network. Data may be transferred wirelessly between the transceiver of the base device and the transceiver of the expansion module with, for example, near-field communication techniques. In some versions of the present mechanism, the expansion module may derive power from signals from the basic device.

Claim (Index 1):
A field device comprising:\n a first enclosure to store a base device, the base device comprising:\n a first transceiver; and \n a first microcontroller operatively coupled to the transceiver and configured to receive power from a source external of the base device; and \n a second enclosure to store an expansion module, the expansion module comprising:\n one or more switches; \n a second transceiver configured to exchange data wirelessly with the first transceiver of the base device, wherein the data includes at least a position of the base device; and \n a second microcontroller operatively coupled to the second transceiver and the one or more switches and configured to switch the one or more switches on or off based on the position of the base device.
