The invention consists of a universal industrial transmitter device that allows through the procedures implemented in its firmware and within distributed industrial environments: the capture (direct or virtual), configuration, calibration, conditioning, processing and transmission of the quantities coming from different types of sensors whose characteristics may differ in what refers to the type of physical magnitude measured and the type of output interface with which they present said measurements (0/4ma-20ma, mv, ohm). The acquisition of the magnitude from different sensors is dynamically adapted with the objective of obtaining high resolution in the measurements, by means of an electronic programmable conditioning circuit whose fundamental element is the electronic circuit amplifier of programmable gain instrumentation with digital potentiometers.
