<p>A loop-powered field device for determining a process variable and providing a measurement signal indicative of the process variable to a remote location via a two-wire current loop, the loop-powered field device comprising: a measurement device for determining the process variable; and loop interface circuitry for providing the measurement signal to the two-wire current loop and for providing power from the two-wire current loop to the measurement device. The loop interface circuitry comprises: current control circuitry connected to the two-wire current loop and the measurement device, the current control circuitry being controllable by the measurement device to provide the measurement signal to the two-wire current loop; a first converter having inputs connected to the two-wire current loop in series with the current control circuitry, and an output for providing power to the measurement device; and voltage regulation circuitry for regulating a voltage across the current control circuitry towards a desired voltage, by controlling an input voltage across the inputs of the first converter.</p> |
