Abstract

The disclosure relates to a measured-value acquisition device for measuring physical values of a technical process in a process engineering system, for converting the physical value into an adequate electrical value and outputting the latter to a communications medium. For the flexible acquisition of a plurality of measurement signals with the least possible installation effort, it is proposed that the function group for measured-value acquisition and the function group for measured-value processing are physically separate from one another and can be logically connected to one another via a wireless communications link, that the function group for measured-value processing is connected via a conductor loop to a superordinate device, in which the power can be supplied and the measurement information can be transmitted over the same pair of wires, and that the function group for measured-value acquisition can be arranged directly at the measuring site and can have a local power supply.

Claims (14)

1 . Measured-value acquisition device for measuring physical values of a technical process in a process engineering system, for converting the physical value into an adequate electrical value and outputting the latter to a communications medium comprising a function group for measured-value acquisition and a function group for measured-value processing, wherein

the function group for measured-value acquisition and the function group for measured-value processing are physically separate from one another and are logically connected to one another via a wireless communications link,

the function group for measured-value processing is connected via a conductor loop to a superordinate device, in which the power is supplied and the measurement information is transmitted over the same pair of wires, and

the function group for measured-value acquisition is arranged directly at the measuring site and has a local power supply.

2 . Measured-value acquisition device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

a plurality of remotely arranged function groups for measured-value acquisition are assigned to a function group for measured-value processing.

3 . Measured-value acquisition device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein

a wireless communications link is provided between the function groups for measured-value acquisition.

4 . Measured-value acquisition device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

a device for local power generation is assigned to the function group for measured-value acquisition.

5 . Measured-value acquisition device for measuring physical values of a technical process at a measuring site, comprising:

a function group for measured-value acquisition; and

a function group for measured-value processing logically connected to the function group for measured-value acquisition via a wireless communications link, wherein

the function group for measured-value processing is connected via a conductor loop to a superordinate device, in which the power is supplied and the measurement information is transmitted, and wherein the function group for measured-value acquisition is locally powered and arranged at the measuring site.
