The focus of the Industry 4.0 era is not just on developing new facilities. How to continue to make full use of and expand the existing infrastructure to achieve the rapid advancement of the digital factory, which can also achieve significant economic cost savings. The intelligent transmitter is an intelligent field instrument developed from the field instrumentation commonly used today. To achieve automation and intelligence in production, it is inseparable from the intelligent transmitter to detect and diagnose the factory, and can be well associated with the field instrumentation.
The intelligent transmitter is fully loop-powered, or supplemented by an auxiliary power supply. In addition to the other components it contains, the smart transmitter mainly uses a microprocessor and contains software that makes the transmitter intelligent. However, the intelligent functions of field instrumentation are not stored only in the software of the microcontroller. Diagnostics and other safety functions can also be integrated into other semiconductor modules (e.g., analog-to-digital converter ADCs) so that the microcontroller can include more processing software.
Smart transmitters typically use a standard 4 mA to 20 mA current loop, which limits the maximum power consumption of the transmitter. As a result, the power consumption of the individual components must be strictly limited. This limit is 3.2 mA if alarm currents as low as 3.2 mA are used. Trends toward smart transmitters include low power consumption, small footprint, more functionality, better performance, safety considerations, and predictive maintenance.
The intelligent transmitter can automatically compensate for the nonlinearity, temperature drift, and time drift of the sensor through software. The intelligent transmitter microprocessor not only receives and processes sensor data, but also feeds the information back to the sensor to regulate and control the measurement process. Information can be stored and memorized, and sensor characteristic data, configuration information, and compensation characteristics can be stored.
