Error system
The transmitter system is equipped with an error and status log system with 4 groups of information.
•
(I) Information without a functional error involved
•
(W) Warnings which may cause malfunction in the application. The cause of the error may
disappear on its own
•
(P) Permanent errors which may cause malfunction in the application. The error requires an
operator
•
(F) Fatal error which is essential for the operation of the flowmeter
2 menus are available in service and operator menus for registration of information and errors
•
Error pending
•
Status log
Error pending
The first 9 standing errors are stored in "error pending". When an error is removed it is removed from
"error pending".
The acceptance level for "error pending" can be individually configured to a particular application.
The acceptance level is set in the "basic settings" in the transmitter setup menu.
Acceptance levels
The following three acceptance levels are selectable
•
Fatal error: Fatal errors are registered as errors
•
Permanent errors: Permanent and fatal errors are registered as errors
•
Warning (Default value): Warnings, permanent and fatal errors are registered as errors
Error information is displayed in title and subtitle lines, see display layout. Title line will show time
since occurrence of error in days, hours and minutes. Subtitle line will flash between an error text
and a remedy text. Error text will indicate type of error (I, W, P or F), error number, and error text.
Remedy text will inform operator of action to take to remove error.
Status Log
Like "error pending" except that information, warnings, permanent and fatal errors is always stored
in the "status log". The "status log" stores the latest 9 messages received/registered during the last
180 days.
Alarm field
The alarm field on the display will always flash when an error is pending.
Error output
The digital and relay output can individually be activated error by error (error level). The relay output
is default selected to error level. An output can also be selected to activate on a single error number.
The alarm field, error output and error pending always operate together.
The analog output turns to a 1 mA level when in the 4-20 mA mode.
Operator menu
Error pending and status log are as default enabled in the operator menu.
