Patent

CA 2614891

A field mountable interface module (120, 302) is provided. The intelligent interface module includes at least one data connection port configured to couple to a data communication network (118, 122, 314) as well as at least one process communication connection port (124, 126, 128, 130) configured to couple to a field device bus (132, 134, 307A, 307B, 307C, 307D) . The intelligent interface module (120, 302) also includes a controller (320) and memory (324) coupled to the controller (320) . The controller (320) is configured to provide a higher order function with respect to one or more field devices and/or field device buses. Higher order functions include calibration support, complex device support, diagnostic support, distributed control system support, and virtual field device functions.

L'invention concerne un module d'interface montable sur le terrain (120, 302). Le module d'interface intelligente comprend au moins un port de liaison des données conçu pour être couplé à un réseau de communication de données (118, 122, 314) ainsi qu'au moins un port de liaison de communication de processus (124, 126, 128, 130) conçu pour être couplé à un bus de dispositifs de terrain (132, 134, 307A, 307B, 307C, 307D). Le module d'interface intelligente (120, 302) comprend également un contrôleur (320) et une mémoire (324) couplée au contrôleur (320). Le contrôleur (320) est conçu pour assurer une fonction d'ordre supérieur par rapport à un ou plusieurs dispositifs de terrain et/ou bus de dispositifs de terrain. Parmi les fonctions d'odre supérieur, on trouve les fonctions de support d'étalonnage, de support de dispositif complexe, de support de diagnostic, de support de système de contrôle distribué, ainsi que de dispositif de terrain virtuel.
