ABSTRACT:
A sensor assembly includes a sensor operable to sense a physical parameter and generate an electrical signal responsive to the sensed physical parameter. Local processing circuitry is physically positioned proximate the sensor and is electrically coupled to the sensor. The local processing circuitry includes an output port adapted to be coupled to a communications channel and the local processing circuitry is operable to process data from the sensor to generate processed sensor data and to provide the processed data on the output port.
