Abstract
A field device according to one aspect of the present invention includes a sensor, an analog-digital converter configured to continuously convert detected signals output from the sensor to digital signals, and a calculator configured to convert the digital signals to process values. The calculator starts acquisition of the digital signals output from the analog-digital converter at a first point in time that is delayed by a processing time required for the conversion process of the analog-digital converter from a start point of a timing signal defining a sampling section of the detected signals, and finishes the acquisition of the digital signals output from the analog-digital converter at a second point in time that is delayed by the processing time from an end point of the timing signal.
