Module-based field termination assembly

This disclosure provides a field termination assembly (FTA) providing for ease of mounting to a support rail. The FTA is easily mounted to a base which is secured to a support rail. The housing includes one or more slots each configured to receive a respective adaptor module configured to be inserted into the slot. Each adaptor module may be configured to perform at least one function related to an associated input or output signal.

Module for field termination assembly

A system includes a housing having multiple slots. The system also includes multiple adaptor modules each configured to be inserted into one of the slots and perform at least one function related to an associated input or output signal. For each slot-adaptor module pair, the slot includes one of a key and a receptacle configured to receive the key, and the adaptor module includes the other of the key and the receptacle. Each key fits into the receptacle associated with one type of adaptor module and cannot fit into the receptacles associated with other types of adaptor modules. Each receptacle accepts the key associated with one type of adaptor module and cannot accept the keys associated with other types of adaptor modules. Each of at least one of the keys and the receptacles is rotatable to achieve one of multiple different orientations. Different ones of the keys have different cross-sectional shapes.

A method for sensing modulated signals in a process facility. The method includes providing a monitoring device that includes a non-contact electromagnetic sensor (EM sensor) configured to sense a modulated signal transmitted on a cable including a conductor coupled to a sensing device or apparatus in the process facility. The monitoring device further includes a non-transitory machine readable storage device and a processor. The non-transitory machine readable storage device stores a data decoding program including protocol information for identifying different communication protocols. The monitoring device is positioned in proximity to the cable for the EM sensor to detect the modulated signal. The data decoding program is implemented by the processor causing the processor to detect the modulated signal and condition the modulated signal to provide a conditioned modulated signal. The conditioned modulated signal is decoded to generate decoded signal data, and the decoded signal data is displayed.
