Field device with a switching converter circuit
First Claim
1. A field device comprising:
- a switching converter circuit and a measuring circuit for determining at least one measuring variable,wherein the switching converter circuit is supplied with electric power on an input side and the switching converter circuit is connected to the measuring circuit on an output side and the switching converter circuit supplies the measuring circuit with electric power, andwherein a load circuit including a resistive element is arranged at the output side of the switching converter circuit and is actuated by a load control circuit so that an output-side electric load at the switching converter circuit does not fall below a minimum electric load as a result of resistance applied by the resistive element.

Abstract
A field device (1) having a switching converter circuit (2) and a measuring circuit (3) for determining at least one measuring variable. The switching converter circuit (2) is supplied with electric power on the input side and the switching converter circuit (2) is connected to the measuring circuit (3) on the output side and the switching converter circuit (2) supplies the measuring circuit (3) with electric power.
The problems associated with changing interfering signals due to the switching converter circuit are reduced in that a load circuit (5) is actuated by a load control circuit (6) so that the output-side electric load at the switching converter circuit (2) does not fall below a minimum electric load.
