Abstract:

A wireless process variable transmitter for use in an industrial process includes a process variable sensor configured to sense a process variable of the industrial process and provide a process variable sensor output. A battery power source includes a plurality of battery power banks each having a primary cell battery, a low voltage cut-off circuit electrically connected to the primary cell battery which provides an electrical connection to the primary cell battery while a voltage of the primary cell battery is above a threshold, and an ideal diode having an input electrically connected to the primary cell battery through the low voltage cut-off and providing a power bank output. A power sharing node has an input connected to the battery power bank output of each of the plurality of battery power banks and having a shared power output which provides power to circuitry of the wireless process variable transmitter.

H01M 50/271
H01M 50/284
H01M 50/569

Abstract:

A reusable power module for a field device is provided. The reusable power module includes a main body defining a chamber configured to house a battery. A cover is operably coupled to the main body and has a first configuration relative to the main body wherein the main body is open and allows access to the battery. The cover also has a second configuration wherein access to the battery is closed. When the cover is in the second configuration, the reusable power module complies with an intrinsic safety specification.

Inventors:

- Chanhassen MN, US
Cory Michael Robinson - Mayer MN, US

International Classification:

G01D 13/22

Abstract:

A gauge system comprises a sensor that produces a sensor signal as a function of a sensed parameter. The gauge system also comprises a motor and a gauge having a scale and a movable indication needle that is driven by the motor and displays a measurement value of the sensed parameter based upon position of the needle relative to the scale. The gauge system further includes a position sensor that produces a position feedback signal representative of a sensed position of the needle and a controller that provides drive commands to the motor based on the sensor signal and the position feedback signal.

International Classification:

H04R 29/00
G08B 21/18

Abstract:

A wireless field device for use in monitoring acoustic noise includes an acoustic sensor configured to sense acoustic noise. Processing circuitry coupled to the acoustic sensor is configured to identify a hazardous noise condition based upon the sensed acoustic noise and a personnel noise exposure standard. Output circuitry provides a warning output in response to an identified noise condition. A system is also provided which uses one or more acoustic sensors implemented in wireless field mounted monitors.
