A transmitter (12) for use in an industrial process control system (10), includes a process coupling (75) configured to couple to a process fluid. A sensor housing (100) has a cavity (102) formed therein which is in fluidic communication with the process fluid. A diaphragm (104) in the cavity (102) isolates a portion (108) of the cavity from the process fluid and moves in response to pressure applied by the process fluid. A first electrode (120) in the isolated portion (108) of the cavity (102) is configured to form a first capacitance with the diaphragm (104) and a second electrode (122) in the isolated portion (108) of the cavity configured to form a second capacitance with the diaphragm (104). Measurement circuitry (74) coupled to the first and second capacitance measures a pressure P of the process fluid based upon at least one of the first capacitance and second capacitance. The measurement circuitry (74) further configured to measure vibrations (70) in the process fluid based upon at least one of the first capacitance and second capacitance.

Un convertisseur de tension-numérique comprend un circuit de stockage (34) couplé aux signaux d'entrée de tension afin de produire une capacité de stockage présentant une pluralité d'intensités pouvant être sélectionnées. Un circuit (36) d'accumulation de charge accumule la charge provenant du circuit de stockage (34) de sorte que la charge totale accumulée est proportionnelle à l'intégralité de la quantité de charge déchargée par le circuit de stockage (34). Un circuit de commande (38) est couplé à la sortie d'équilibrage afin d'émettre des signaux de rétroaction en fonction de la sortie d'équilibrage, de manière à charger et à décharger périodiquement la capacité de stockage. Un circuit de calcul (44) est couplé au circuit de rétroaction afin de compter le nombre de paquets chargés produits dans un cycle de mesure. Un circuit de sortie (28) est couplé audit circuit de calcul (44), et produit une sortie indicative des signaux d'entrée de tension, en fonction du nombre de paquets comptés.

摘要:
A transmitter (10) in a process control system includes input/output circuitry (74) for coupling to a process control loop (12). A first sensor (40L) having a first impedance is responsive to a first sensed parameter. A second sensor (40H) having a second impedance is responsive to a sensed parameter. First and second excitation signals (S1, S2) are applied to the first and second sensors (40L, 40H). A summing node (44) sums the outputs (OL, OH) of the first and second sensors (40L, 40H). An analog to digital converter (54) provides a digital output representative of the summed signals. Digital signal processing circuitry (70) coupled to the analog to digital converter (54) provides an output related to the outputs (OL, OH) of the first and second sensors (40L, 40H) to the input/output circuitry (72) for transmission over the process control loop (12).
摘要:
A charge balanced feedback type transmitter (10) generates charge packets representative of a sensed parameter. Improved performance is achieved by the addition of resistance (R1), (R2) connected between a charge packet generating reactance (C1), (C2), (CL1), (CL2) and an integrator (30) to reduce the effects of noise caused by switching transients and by ground noise which is coupled to the charge packet generating circuitry (12) by stray capacitance. The charge packets are integrated by the integrator (30), and the integrator output is supplied from a selective basis to the input of a comparator (32). The output of the comparator (32) is used to control the application of balance. The input of the comparator (32) is selectively connected to the output of the integrator (30), to a first supply voltage, or to a second supply voltage to ensure a stable output of the comparator (32) at a critical time when charge is being supplied to the integrator (30).
