Abstract

See full text

A control loop includes a process controller for controlling a field device in a process. A remote measurement transmitter measures a desired process variable and transmits the measured variable as a wireless measurement signal to a wireless interface unit on the controller side. The interface unit passes the received measurement signal, and a trigger signal indicating a reception of a new measurement, to an adaptive estimator. When triggered by a trigger signal from the wireless interface, i.e. when a new measurement value is received, the adaptive estimator outputs the new value measurement value to the process controller. Otherwise, between consecutive trigger signals, the adaptive estimator generates an estimated measurement value that gradually moves towards a setpoint according to a predetermined estimation algorithm or process.
