Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to communicatively coupled field devices to a remote terminal unit are disclosed. The example apparatus includes a base rack for a remote terminal unit in a process control system. The example apparatus further includes a first termination module to be inserted in a first termination slot of the base rack. Wires communicatively coupled to a field device are to be terminated on the first termination module. The example apparatus also includes a first control module separate from the first termination module to be inserted in a first control slot of the base rack. The first control module is to be communicatively coupled with the first termination module via a backplane of the base rack. The first control module is to control communications with the field device.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 15 , wherein the first conditioning circuit is associated with a first channel of the first type of termination module, the first type of termination module including a third conditioning circuit associated with a second channel of the first type of termination module, the first conditioning circuit having different circuitry than the third conditioning circuit.
