An apparatus configured to prevent a false trigger of a shutdown function of a process control device (100, 200) comprising: a power source configured to operate a process control component; a power conditioner configured to prevent a false trigger of a shutdown function of the process control component, by temporarily providing power to the process control component during a disruption of power from the power source to the process control component until the power disruption has passed or a designated period of time has passed, the power provided by the power conditioner to the process control component being based on energy stored at the power conditioner; the apparatus being further characterized by comprising: a reserve power unit configured to be operable independently from the power conditioner, the reserve power unit configured to move the process control component to a shutdown position by providing a control signal and power to the process control component in response to a depletion of the energy stored at the power conditioner, the depletion being caused by the disruption of power when exceeding a power disruption duration or the designated period of time, and the power provided by the reserve power unit to the process control component being based on energy stored at the reserve power unit, wherein the reserve power unit includes an amount of energy sufficient to move the process control component from any position to the shutdown position. to prevent a false trigger of a shutdown function of a process control device (100, 200) comprising: a power source configured to operate a process control component;
