    Abstract: A diagnostic field device for detecting a condition of a process conduit includes an infrared detector comprising a plurality of pixels configured to receive infrared radiation from the process conduit and responsively provide a plurality of pixel outputs. A first pixel of the plurality of pixels is configured to receive infrared radiation from a first location on the process conduit. A second pixel of the plurality of pixels is configured to receive infrared radiation from a second location on the process conduit. A memory contains thermal profile information which relates an output from the first pixel to a first temperature at the first location and relates an output from the second pixel to a second temperature at the second location. A microprocessor identifies a process anomaly based upon outputs from the first and second pixels. Output circuitry provides a diagnostic output indicative of the identified process anomaly.

    Abstract: A process variable transmitter for measuring a temperature in an industrial process includes an infrared detector arranged to receive infrared radiation from a component in the industrial process. A memory contains temperature characterization information which relates the infrared radiation received from the component with an internal temperature of the component. Measurement circuitry is configured to determine the internal temperature of the component based upon the received infrared radiation from the component and the temperature characterization information.

    Abstract: A diagnostic field device for identifying a diagnostic condition in an industrial process includes an infrared sensor array having a plurality of infrared sensors arranged to sense infrared emissions from a location in the industrial process. Processing circuitry processes outputs from the plurality of infrared sensors of the sensor array and generates an infrared image. Diagnostic circuitry compares processed outputs from at least two subsections of the infrared image and provides a diagnostic output based upon the comparison.

    Abstract: An industrial process temperature transmitter for measuring a temperature of a process medium includes a temperature sensing unit, a compensation circuit, and an output circuit. The temperature sensing unit includes a process temperature sensor that is separated from the process medium by an isolation wall. The temperature sensing unit is configured to produce a temperature signal that is indicative of the temperature of the process medium based on a process temperature signal output from the process temperature sensor during a temperature measurement. The compensation circuit is configured to compensate the temperature signal for a response time of the temperature measurement to a change in the temperature of the process medium, and output a compensated temperature signal. The output circuit is configured to produce a temperature output as a function of the compensated temperature signal corresponding to the temperature of the process medium.

    Abstract: An infrared sensor includes a thermopile connected in series with an ambient temperature compensation resistance temperature detector (RTD) and four electrical leads. The thermopile produces a voltage as a function of temperature of a point of interest, while the RTD varies in resistance as a function of ambient temperature. Two of the leads deliver current to energize the RTD. The other two leads are used for sensing voltages produced by the thermopile and the RTD.
