1. A device comprising: a processing module configured to: receive a process metric from a process sensor, the process metric including data associated with a system monitored or controlled by the process sensor, and execute a transformation process for mapping the process metric to a process parameter associated with the system monitored or controlled by the process sensor; and an output module configured to: receive the process parameter, generate an output signal representing the process parameter, and output the process parameter to a process controller capable of processing the process parameter and incapable of processing the process metric.
