Abstract
A method for monitoring a transmitter that has a measurement unit and a transmission unit which are interconnected to each other in order to transmit signals. There is at least one connecting line for supplying power to the measurement unit which determines a measurement quantity and generates a measurement signal which is dependent on it. The transmission unit receives the measurement signal from the measurement unit, and based on the measurement signal, transfers an output signal to at least one signal transmission element. To provide a method for monitoring a transmitter which allows reliable displaying of an error as easily as possible and the shifting of the transmitter into a secured state, in the case in which the measurement unit detects the presence of an error state, the measurement unit acts on the connecting line.
