Abstract
A transmitting and receiving unit is provided for a field device for measuring a filling level or a pressure, which has an adaptive error counter. In this way, the sensitivity of the error detection may be adapted to individual needs or to the present length of the communications section. Thus, during wireless communication an optimally set error counter may fundamentally be used according to the distance to be covered without any adjustment needing to be made for this on the user side.
