    Abstract: A wireless field device for use in an industrial process includes input/output terminals configured to couple to a process interface element. A discrete input/output channel is configured to receive a discrete input signal from the process interface element through the input/output terminals when configured as a discrete input channel. The discrete input/output channel is further configured to provide a discrete output to the process interface element through the input/output terminals when configured as discrete output channel. Wireless communication circuitry transmits and receives information. A controller is configured to provide a discrete output signal to the process interface element in response to information received by the wireless communication circuitry when the discrete input/output channel is configured as a discrete output channel, and further configure to receive a discrete input signal from a process variable sensor and responsively provide an output using the wireless communication circuitry when the discrete input/output channel is configured as a discrete input channel. An external power supply input couples to an external power supply. A load adapter module couples to the discrete output signal and the external power supply input and includes a switch configured to connect the process interface element to the external power supply in response to the discrete output signal.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to field device housing assemblies and field devices that include the housing assemblies. One embodiment of the field device housing assembly includes a main housing, a cover having a proximal end connected to the main housing, a transparent panel and a retainer ring. An interior wall of the cover includes a threaded section that is concentric to a central axis, and a flange extending radially inward from the interior wall toward the central axis. The transparent panel is received within a socket defined by the interior wall and the flange. The retainer ring is secured to the threaded section of the interior wall. The transparent panel is clamped between the retainer ring and the flange.

    Abstract: A wireless field device for use in an industrial process includes input/output terminals to couple to a process interface element and a discrete input/output channel configured to receive a discrete input signal from the process interface element through the input/output terminals when configured as a discrete input channel, the discrete input/output channel further configured to provide a discrete output to the process interface element through the input/output terminals when configured as discrete output channel. Wireless communication circuitry transmits and receives information. A controller transmits information through the communication circuitry based upon a sensed process variable, provides a discrete output signal when the discrete input/output channel is configured as a discrete output channel and receives a discrete input signal when configured as a discrete input channel. An external power supply input is couples to an external power supply and a battery power supply input couples a battery. Power supply circuitry powers the controller from at most one of the external power supply or the battery.
