摘要:
A transmitter in a process control system transmits a pressure over a process control loop. The transmitter includes I/O circuitry, compensation circuitry and an absolute pressure sensor. The I/O circuitry transmits information over the process control loop. Compensation circuitry receives a pressure related signal and responsively controls the I/O circuitry to transmit pressure information on the loop. The absolute pressure sensor includes a cavity which deforms as the sensor deflects in response to an applied pressure. A sensor in the cavity provides the pressure related signal to the compensation circuitry in response to the deformation.

A pressure monitoring system provides a pressure sensor and a body that has a first coefficient of thermal expansion and includes at least one opening for accessing a process fluid. At least one isolation diaphragm is coupled to the body and positioned in the at least one opening. The at least one isolation diaphragm has a first surface in communication with the process fluid. At least one passageway is located in the body and configured to contain a fill fluid in communication with a second surface of the first isolation diaphragm. The at least one passageway is positioned between the first isolation diaphragm and the pressure sensor. At least one expansion chamber is coupled to the first passageway and includes an insert having a second coefficient of thermal expansion. The first coefficient of thermal expansion of the body is greater than the second coefficient of thermal expansion of the insert.

Conversion circuitry for use in a process control system is adapted for coupling to a primary process control loop. Digital receiver circuitry in the conversion circuitry receives a digital signal transmitted over the primary process control loop from a field transmitter and responsively provides a digital output. A microprocessor receives the digital output and responsively provides a secondary loop control output. Secondary loop control circuitry for coupling to a secondary process control loop receives the secondary loop control output from the microprocessor and responsively controls current flowing through the secondary process control loop. The current flowing through the secondary process control loop is related to the digital signal transmitted by the field transmitter.

A two-wire transmitter senses a pressure using an internal pressure sensor. The transmitter includes an input for receiving a process variable from a remote sensor which is separated from the transmitter. Circuitry in the transmitters transmits information on a two-wire process control loop which is related to the sensed pressure and the process variable.

A process fluid pressure measurement system includes a process fluid pressure transmitter coupled to a coplanar manifold. The coplanar manifold includes a first bore coupleable to a source of process fluid, and a vent passageway connected to the first bore and terminating in a vent hole. The coplanar manifold includes at least one port configured to receive a valve stem. Directly engaging the valve stem with the coplanar manifold selectively vents the coplanar manifold. Aspects of the present invention also include a coplanar manifold for coupling fluid to a process fluid pressure transmitter, and a method of venting such a coplanar manifold.
摘要:
A two-wire transmitter senses differential pressure, absolute pressure, and process temperature of a process fluid. The information can be used to provide an output representative of mass flow through a pipe. The transmitter has an electronics module housing attached to a sensor module housing. The sensor module housing contains all the sensors for the pressures and includes a boss input for receiving a signal representative of a temperature or pressure signal. The three process variables are appropriately digitized, and received by an electronics circuit board in the electronics housing including a microprocessor for calculating the mass flow. The microprocessor in the electronics housing also calculates a compressibility factor and a discharge coefficients according to a polynomials of specific forms. The boss is integral to the sensor module housing and is adapted to fit either shielded twisted pair cabling or conduit.
