Abstract
An apparatus for determining and/or monitoring a chemical or physical, process variable in automation technology, comprising: a superordinated control unit; and a transmitter electronics having a first interface, a second interface and a third interface. The transmitter electronics communicates with the superordinated control unit by means of the first interface via a bus protocol. The transmitter electronics can be connected with a service unit via the second interface; and the third interface has a plurality of data channels for corresponding data source components; and wherein individual data channels are addressable and tunable via the service unit as a function of the connected data source components, so that data selected from the data for the connected data source components can be transmitted at the same time in at least one telegram to the superordinated control unit.
