ABSTRACT:
A two-wire process transmitter for use in monitoring an industrial process includes HART® communication circuitry and Fieldbus communication circuitry to couple to a two-wire process control loop. A first pair of electrical terminals is provided to couple the HART® communication circuitry to the two-wire process control loop in a first configuration, and a second pair of electrical terminals is provided to couple the Fieldbus communication circuitry to the two-wire process control loop in an alternative second configuration.
