Abstract: A wireless field device assembly comprises a process sensor, a housing, a transmitter, and a power module. The process sensor is configured to monitor a process variable and produce a sensor signal. The housing encloses an interior space of the wireless field device. The transmitter is enclosed within the interior space, and is configured to process the sensor signal. The power module is configured to be housed in the interior space, and comprises an energy storage device, a connection to a local power source, and a processor configured to provide the transmitter with a diagnostic report of the energy storage device and the local power source.

Abstract: A wireless field device for use in an industrial process control or monitoring system includes a controller configured to control operation of the wireless field device. Wireless communication circuitry is configured to wirelessly communicate with a remote location. An internal power source powers the wireless field device. An image capture device is coupled to the controller and configured to capture an image of an environment of the wireless field device. The controller is adapted to receive image information from the image capture device and transmit compressed image information to the remote location.

Abstract: A wireless device comprises a plurality of diverse antennas, an accelerometer configured to determine an orientation of the wireless device, and a processor. The processor is configured to initially select a primary link configuration based on the determined orientation of the wireless device. The primary link configuration designates one or more of the plurality of diverse antennas and one or more diverse antennas of another wireless device configured to transmit the payload messages. The processor is further configured to receive payload messages using the primary link configuration, record a received signal strength indication (RSSI) value for the received payload messages, and periodically test RSSI for alternative link configurations. The processor compares RSSI between the primary link configuration and the alternative link configuration, and revises the primary link configuration if the comparison indicates that the alternative link configuration RSSI is greater than primary link configuration RSSI.
