SENSOR AND SENSOR NETWORK AND METHOD FOR THE OPERATION THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to a sensor for measuring at least one measurement variable. The invention also relates to a sensor network comprising several sensors and to a method for operating the sensor network. Said claimed sensor initially comprises a measurement variable sensor which is used to convert the measurement variable into an electric signal. A transducer is used to convert the electric signal into measurement data. Said sensor comprises a first communication interface for transferring the measurement data and other data in accordance with a first protocol and a second communication interface for transferring the measurement data and other data in accordance with a second protocol. Said sensor also comprises a data exchange unit for exchanging data between the transducer, the first communication interface and the second communication interface.
