AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, excessive or insufficient current consumption by field equipment leads to unstable communication and power supply, affecting the normal operation of the equipment and the operation of other equipment in the section.

Method used

A static current detector is used to measure the current consumption of the equipment circuit. With the help of a power regulator and microcontroller, the current is monitored in real time to see if it exceeds or falls below the threshold, and an alarm is issued to prevent equipment failure and communication interruption.

Benefits of technology

It enables real-time monitoring of field equipment, timely issuance of alarms, prevention of equipment malfunctions and communication failures within the section, and ensures normal equipment operation and power stability.

Abstract

Field devices for industrial processes and industrial process field devices are provided. A field device for an industrial process includes a current detector for detecting an amount of current consumed by the field device and an interface that allows the field device to communicate with at least one other device. The interface transmits a first alert when the amount of current consumed by the field device exceeds a first threshold and transmits a second alert when the amount of current consumed by the field device is below a second threshold.
