Apparatus and method for a mappable I/O channel on an electrical transmitter

Filed:2019-11-13Pub:2024-01-02
Applicant:MICRO MOTION, INC.

An electrical transmitter ( 100 ) is provided that comprises an ethernet connection ( 118 ) and a power source. Electronics ( 112 ) are configured to receive the ethernet connection ( 118 ) and the power source. The electronics ( 112 ) comprise logic operable to detect the power source and accept power from either the ethernet connection ( 118 ) or a dedicated power connection ( 116 ). A remappable power connection terminal ( 114 ) with the electronics ( 112 ) is operable to accept power when the dedicated power connection ( 116 ) is detected, and operable to accept a non-power connection when power from the ethernet connection ( 118 ) is detected.
