A field device comprising a protection circuit between a communication interface and a signal processing unit. A communication interface is preferably an Ethernet connection of the field device, wherein between the communication interface and the signal processing unit a first system is provided, which serves for electrical current limiting, wherein between the first system for electrical current limiting and the signal processing unit a means is provided, which serves for voltage limiting, and wherein between the means for voltage limiting and the signal processing unit a second system is provided, which serves for energy limiting. |
