Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9113417A1] A process transmitter (50) transmits a 4-20 mA current representing a sensed parameter to a loop (52) which energizes the transmitter (50). An output circuit (60) receives energization from the loop (52) and controls the 4-20 mA output as a function of a sensor data input. The output circuit (60) further generates a transformer driver output which also serves as a clock for isolated circuitry (106). A sensor circuit (82) generates a transformer driver output representing the sensed parameter. An isolation transformer (76) driven by the driver output excites the sensor circuit (82) and provides a clock reference as a function of the driver output oscillation to the sensor circuit (82) . The isolation transformer (76) is a single coupling device which couples energization, clock reference, sensor data and programming data across an electrically insulating barrier between the output circuit (50) and the sensor circuit (82).
