The present disclosure relates to a pressure transducer comprising a process module having a cylindrical main part made of a first material. A pressure-sensitive process diaphragm and an axially disposed through-hole are provided in the main part. The pressure transducer includes a measuring module having a cylindrical base which is manufactured from a second material that differs from the first material. The base has a pressure sensor and a pin-like portion, where the pin-like portion projects into the through-hole such that an end portion of the pin-like portion is flush with the end portion of the main part facing the medium. The end portion of the pin-like portion is connected to the end portion of the main part facing the medium, where the pin-like portion tapers in the direction of the end portion of the pin-like portion.

A method for managing and configuring field devices of an automation system has a configuration tool designed to physically detect a field device in the automation system, to logically integrate said device in the automation system and to configure it in the automation system, wherein for this purpose the configuration tool draws on a predefined first information package that is specific to the field device and describes at least some of the functions and data of the field device. To simplify communication between the configuration tool and the field devices, FDI-based data packages may be formed from the predefined field device-specific information package and transmitted by one or more FDT-based communications components may be exchanged between the configuration tool and the field device.
