communicated to transceiver 206 from transceiver 204 at step 304 the data is communicating from transceiver 206 to process control system 100 preferably by network 116 b at step 306 second data is received from the process control system 100 at transceiver 206 at step 308 the second data is wirelessly communicated to the transceiver 204 from transceiver 206 at step 310 the second data is communicated from transceiver 204 to process element 202 at step 312 although fig3 illustrates one example of a method 300 for using wireless communications for process elements various changes may be made to fig3 for example one some or all of the steps may occur as many times as needed also while shown as a sequence of steps various steps in fig3 could occur in parallel or in a different order it may be advantageous to set forth definitions of certain words and phrases used throughout this patent document the term u201c couple u201d and its derivatives refer to any direct or indirect communication between two or more elements whether or not those elements are in physical contact with one another the term u201c application u201d refers to one or more computer programs sets of instructions procedures functions objects classes instances or related.
