Universal interface compatibility of a sensor

A universal interface apparatus, comprising:

• a processing module to acquire an electrical power signal of an external source and to communicate with a sensor coupled to the universal interface apparatus;
• and
• a power conditioning module to condition the electrical power signal and to transfer the conditioned electrical power signal to the sensor,
• wherein the conditioning is based on a type of power used and a quality of power used by the sensor,
• wherein the processing module is further enables conversion of an output of the sensor operating on the conditioned electrical power signal to an appropriate form thereof compatible with an interface associated with the universal interface apparatus and communication of the appropriate form to the interface.

A system, comprising:

• a sensor;
• and
• a universal interface device coupled to the sensor, wherein the universal interface device further:
• acquires an electrical power signal of an external source,
• communicates with the sensor,
• conditions the electrical power signal, wherein the conditioning is based on a type of power used and a quality of power used by the sensor,
• transfers the conditioned electrical power signal to the sensor,
• receives an output of the sensor operating on the conditioned electrical power signal,
• converts the output of the sensor to an appropriate form thereof compatible with an interface associated with the universal interface device, and
• communicates the appropriate form to the interface.
