Zusammenfassung:A process control apparatus for the control of an industrial process is disclosed herein. The process control apparatus may include a power supply that supplies electrical power, and a single source disposed about an industrial process, the source in electrical communication with the power supply to receive electrical power therefrom. The source converts the electrical power into a wireless power signal. A number of receivers may be disposed about the industrial process, each receiver adapted to receive the power signal wirelessly, convert the power signal into electrical power, and communicate the electrical power onto a field device. The power signal may include an oscillating magnetic field M or electromagnetic waves that may be generally in the ultra-high frequency (UHF) range. Related methods of process control of an industrial process are also disclosed herein.
