Abstract: A loop-powered field device includes a plurality of terminals coupleable to a process communication loop and a loop control module coupled to one of the plurality of terminals and configured to control an amount of current flowing through the loop control module based on a control signal. A field device main processor is operably coupled to the loop control module to receive its operating current (I_Main) from the loop control module and is configured to provide the control signal based on a process variable output. A low power wireless communication module is operably coupled to the loop control module to receive its operating current (I_BLE) from the loop control module. The low power wireless communication module is communicatively coupled to the field device main processor. The low power wireless communication module has an active mode and a sleep mode. The low power wireless communication module is configured to obtain a measurement of operating current (I_BLE) available while the low power wireless communication module is in the sleep mode and modify an active cycle of the low power wireless communication module based on the measurement of operating current (I_BLE).
