摘要:
Temperature compensation in a digital data handling system uses a digital temperature compensation for producing a digital word modification for an input to a temperature sensitive digital to analog converter (6). The temperature affecting the digital data handling system is sensed and produces a digital temperature representation which is used by the digital computer to produce an output signal in accordance with a characterization equation in the form of Output = f(D, M) where D = digital data and M = f (temperature). The temperature stability of the digital data handling system is affected by the temperature stability of a reference voltage circuit (8, 10, 11) used in the digital-to-analog converter and having a voltage reference diode (8). A compensation circuit (29) uses a temperature sensor in the form of a second diode (28), which is thermally coupled to the reference diode (8), and a tracking type analog-to-digital converter (30-42) for converting an analog signal. The output of the analog-to-digital converter is a count stored in the counter (38) and is supplied as a digital word to a digital computer (1) which uses the digital word to modify a digital input signal to the digital-to-analog converter (6).

摘要:
A data communication system uses a 2-wire transmitter 2 which adjusts the current through the pair of wires 17 between 4 and 20 mA to represent a process variable; this can be sensed by an analog-to-digital converter 70, across a resistor RO, feeding a display 74. A communication device 8 can interrupt the PV analog signalling for digital signalling. Device 8 draws a 16 mA current for 1 bit time, and this is sensed by transmitter 2, which ceases PV transmission. Device 8 then sends 1 or more bytes, by drawing 0 and 16 mA current pulses, which are sensed by transmitter 2. Transmitter 2 can then send data back to device 8 by raising its output to 20 mA, and dropping it to 4 mA for 1 bit time each, then transmitting the data as 1 or more bytes with logic levels 4 and 20 mA. A steady level of 4 mA for a predetermined period t is recognized by either device as the end of digital signalling, and the transmitter 2 resumes its analog PV output
