POWER MANAGEMENT IN A PROCESS TRANSMITTER

摘要

An industrial process transmitter 102 for transmitting a process variable on a two-wire process control loop 106 includes, a loop current control 162 to control a loop current level on the two-wire process control loop 106 that is related to the process variable. Power is provided to primary circuitry 164 of the process transmitter 102. A secondary current control circuit 166 limits current delivered to secondary circuitry 168.
