Claims9
A field device housing with electronics disposed in the field device housing, a housing cover and a monitoring device, wherein the electronics electrically check the monitoring device, and that the monitoring device indicates a state of the field device housing, wherein the housing cover comprises a receiver element, the electronics comprise a transmitter element and the electronics monitor the conductor path in the housing cover via a signal sent back from the transmitter element to the receiver element.
A method for determining a state of a field device housing with a housing cover and a monitoring device, comprising electronics disposed in the field device housing which are configured to monitor the state of the monitoring device, wherein the housing cover comprises a receiver element, the electronics comprise a transmitter element and the electronics monitor the conductor path in the housing cover via a signal sent back from the transmitter element to the receiver element, comprising thee following steps:
- a. monitoring the state of the field device housing, and
- b. reacting to a change in the state.
