FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: process parameter transmitter for use in a system for controlling or monitoring a production process has a transmitter housing and a process parameter sensor, having a sensor output signal associated with the process parameter. The accelerometer is connected to the transmitter and provides an accelerometer output signal associated with acceleration. The diagnostic circuit provides a diagnostic output signal as a function of the sensor output signal and the accelerometer output signal.
EFFECT: improved diagnosis in systems for controlling or monitoring a production process to identify faulty components or components which are worn out or are in the process of breaking down.
