WIRELESS ADAPTER WITH PROCESS DIAGNOSTICS

摘要

A process device (12) with diagnostics for use in an industrial process includes a process variable sensor or controller element (22) which is configured to sense or control a process variable of a process fluid of the industrial process. Circuitry (62) is coupled to the process variable sensor or control element (22) and configured to measure or control a process variable of the industrial process. A wireless communication adapter (30) includes wireless communication circuitry configured to communicate in the industrial process. The wireless communication circuitry is further configured to receive a process signal from another process device. Diagnostic circuitry is configured to diagnose operation of the industrial process as a function of the sensed process variable and the received process signal.
