METHOD OF MAKING MEASURED VALUES AVAILABLE TO FINAL CUSTOMERS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for providing measured values for end users. The measured value of a process variable is detected by means of a sensor and is transmitted to a process management system. The number of transmission operations is counted and the costs incurred to the end user are calculated according to the number of transmission operations. The main advantage of the invention lies in the fact that the end user no longer pays for the sensor, only being charged for that which he/she really requires, i.e. the measured value.
