US Patent 11588511 Plug-in radio module for automation engineering

Disclosed is a plug-in radio module for automation engineering for wireless data transmission, having at least a wired interface for connecting to a corresponding wired field device interface of a field device and radio module electronics having a radio antenna, wherein the radio module electronics are configured to use the wired interfaces to query at least one current value of the field device and to use the current value to adapt a paging interval and/or a radio data width for the wireless data transmission as appropriate, so that the radio module electronics perform an adapted-power mode of operation in which the wireless data transmission is matched to the power currently made available to the field device.
