An apparatus for determining and/or monitoring at least one measured variable. The apparatus includes: at least one measuring unit; and at least one securement unit for holding the measuring unit in contact with an object. The securement unit is embodied in such a manner, that the securement unit has at least two stable shape states, wherein, for transition between the at least two states, application of a mechanical force to the securement unit is required.

A display for on-site visualization of conditions of an automated process is disclosed. It comprises a display controller which at least temporarily provides a state indication signal representing a constellation of states of at least two process data signals. At least one of the two process data signals is derived from a signal generated externally to the field device. The field device has a display element which responds to a change in the state indication signal with a significant change in its appearance, thus signaling the constellation of the states of the two process data signals in a visually perceptible manner. Therefore, the field device is particularly suited for on-site monitoring of entire plants or sections thereof by operating personnel.

Field device with display

A display (AV) for on-site visualization of conditions of an automated process (PZ) is disclosed. It comprises a display controller (AS) which at least temporarily provides a state indication signal (ZA) representing a constellation of states of at least two process data signals (PD, PD). At least one of the two process data signals (PD, PD) is derived from a signal (RX) generated externally to the field device (F). The field device (F) has a display element (AE) which responds to a change in the state indication signal (ZA) with a significant change in its appearance, thus signaling the constellation of the states of the two process data signals (PD, PD) in a visually perceptible manner. Therefore, the field device (F) is particularly suited for on-site monitoring of entire plants or sections thereof by operating personnel.

The circuit arrangement serves to identify an input signal (s ) assigned to a predetermined signal class. It comprises signal-matching electronics ( ) responsive to a current component and/or a voltage component of the input signal (s ) and providing a corresponding output signal (s ). By means of signal recognition electronics ( ) of the circuit arrangement, the output signal (s ) is transformed into a recognition signal (c ) representative of the signal class.

This chart recorder with n or m (n, m=1, 2, 3, . . . ) measuring channels, one for each of n or m measurement signals to be recorded, has a printing device (5) or m continuous-line recording devices (31, 32) which produces/produce n equal colored dot sequences (8), each associated with one of the n measurement signals, or continuous lines (8', 8') each associated with one of the m measurement signals, as measurement curves on a recording medium (4, 4') moving past it/them. Those portions (81; 81', 81') of the dot sequences or continuous lines which are currently being formed lie behind a covering portion (51, 51') formed by the printing device (5) or the continuous-line recording devices (31, 32) and/or by other components of the chart recorder, and are invisible. The chart recorder further includes an electronic display (21, 21') with p lines each consisting of q dots on which the dot-sequence or continuous-line portions (81; 81', 81') currently being formed are displayed as corresponding electronic dot sequences (80, 80', 80') .

Chart recorder

A chart recorder is disclosed which has n (n=1, 2, 3, . . . ) measuring channels, one for each of n measurement signals to be recorded, a printing device (5) which produces n isochromatic dot sequences (8) as curves each associated with one of the n measurement signals on a recording medium (4) moving past it, and 1 to n writing devices (9) for 1 to n different colors which overwrite or underwrite one or more of the dot sequences (8), at least in sections, with a continuous line (10) of another one of the n colors which follows the measurement signal of the respective channel, or a color-printing device (15) for 1 to n different colors which marks selected dots of each curve with dots (18) of another one of the n colors. Thus, the n dot sequences (8) are clearly distinguishable one from the other, particularly at curve intersections, and additional functions, such as alarm markings, can be realized.
