    Abstract: A two-wire process variable transmitter (12) for use in an industrial process, including a process variable sensor (14) configured to sense a process variable of a fluid of the industrial process. Output circuitry (36) is configured to provide an output on a two-wire process control loop (18) which is related to the sensed process variable. Loop current measurement circuitry (36) measures a loop current flowing through the two-wire process control loop (18) and terminal voltage measurement circuitry (36) measures a voltage related to a terminal voltage of the process variable transmitter (12). The terminal voltage can be a voltage measured across an electrical connection of the two-wire process variable transmitter (12) to the two-wire process control loop (18). Input circuitry (36) is configured to receive a diagnostic command from the two-wire process control loop (18). A microprocessor (30) configured to perform loop diagnostics on the two-wire process control loop (18) based upon the measured loop current and terminal voltage in response to receipt of a diagnostic command from the two-wire process control loop (18).
