Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for operating a measuring transducer of process automation technology, comprising at least the following steps: starting the measuring transducer by starting its operating system, wherein the operating system provides at least one interface; starting at least one interpreter, wherein the interpreter accesses the interface; and executing an extension in the interpreter. The present disclosure further relates to a measuring transducer for implementing the method.
Claims17
A method for operating a measuring transducer of process automation technology, comprising:
- starting the measuring transducer by starting its operating system, wherein the operating system provides at least one interface;
- starting at least one interpreter, wherein the at least one interpreter is configured to access the at least one interface;
- and
- executing an extension in the at least one interpreter.
A measuring transducer, comprising:
- a sensor element embodied to detect a physical measurand and to convert the physical measurand to an electrical signal, the sensor element including a unique identification;
- an operating system having at least one interface for the exchange of information;
- and
- at least one interpreter configured to access the at least one interface,
- wherein the measuring transducer is configured to transfer to itself sensor-specific software from the sensor element, a memory card, and a data connection, based on the unique identification, and
- wherein the interpreter is embodied to execute an extension and to execute the sensor-specific software.
