TWO-WIRE FIELD DEVICE FOR PROCESS AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY FOR CONNECTING AT LEAST ONE SENSOR ELEMENT

摘要

A two-wire field device for process automation technology for connecting at least one sensor element comprises a first supply part V1, which can be connected to a field bus FB via a first two-wire connection A1. The field device FB is completely supplied with energy via the field bus. The two-wire field device comprises a second supply part V2, which is connected to the first supply part V1 and serves the energy supply of a sensor bus SB via a second two-wire connection A2. Furthermore, a field bus communication unit FKE, which is connected to the first two-wire connection A1 and the first supply part V1 and which serves the data exchange via the field bus, and a sensor bus communication unit SKE, which is connected to the second two-wire connection A2 and the second supply part V2 and which serves the data exchange via the sensor bus, are provided. A processing module VM is connected to the field bus communication unit FKS, the sensor bus communication unit SKE, and the first supply part V1. According to the invention, the field bus FB and the sensor bus SB are galvanically isolated from one another.
