A measuring transducer with a sensor for converting a detected measured value into a sensor signal. The sensor signal is processed in a signal processing device to form a measuring signal that is transmitted to a central location via a data interface. The data interface is also used as a conduit for signals to parameterize the measuring transducer. The measuring transducer includes a device that provides a simulated measuring signal that can be transmitted to the central location on request via the data interface instead of the detected measured value. Further, a function can be performed on the simulated measuring signal before it is transmitted or a sequence of simulated measuring values can be transmitted corresponding to particular operating conditions.

Measuring transducer

A measuring transducer having a sensor () transforming a measured parameter, recorded by the sensor, into an electrical sensor signal (), a signal processing unit (), adapted to convert the sensor signal into a measurement signal () and to generate an error message signal (), and a data interface () transmitting the measured signal and the error report signal. In order to enable error events external to the measuring transducer () to be recorded in a simple manner, the measuring transducer includes a control input () other than the data interface (). This control input is adapted to transmit an error report signal () that is generated.
