Abstract
A field device for an industrial process includes a current detector for detecting the amount of current consumed by the field device and an interface allowing the field device to communicate with at least one other device. The interface communicates a first alert when the amount of current consumed by the field device exceeds a first threshold and a second alert when the amount of current consumed by the field device is below a second threshold.
