Abstract
A wireless field device for use in an industrial process includes input/output terminals configured to couple to a process interface element. A discrete input/output channel is configured to receive a discrete input signal from the process interface element through the input/output terminals when configured as a discrete input channel. The discrete input/output channel is further configured to provide a discrete output to the process interface element through the input/output terminals when configured as discrete output channel. Wireless communication circuitry transmits and receives information. A controller is configured to provide a discrete output signal to the process interface element in response to information received by the wireless communication circuitry when the discrete input/output channel is configured as a discrete output channel, and further configure to receive a discrete input signal from a process variable sensor and responsively provide an output using the wireless communication circuitry when the discrete input/output channel is configured as a discrete input channel. An external power supply input couples to an external power supply. A load adapter module cou…
