Disclosed is a method for reducing volume of data transmitted from a field device. The method includes checking a value of a process variable at a first point in time and comparing the value with a value checked at a second point in time preceding the first point in time. The value at the first point in time is transmitted only when it differs from the value at the second point in time by a predetermined first magnitude. Additionally, the value at the first point in time is transmitted only when the difference between the value at the first point in time and the value at the second point in time differ by a predetermined factor from a difference between the value at the second point in time and a value at a third point in time preceding the second point in time.
