Zusammenfassung:A field hardened industrial device (200) is described with a housing (208) of the device having electrically conductive walls surrounding a cavity (206) with an open end. An electronics assembly (292) is adapted to fit within the cavity. The device includes a circuit card assembly (270), which is a multi-layered printed wiring board with pass-through electrical connections and an embedded ground plane (350) electrically coupled to the housing (202) to shield the electronics assembly (292) from electromagnetic interference and to provide environmental protection to the electronics assembly.
