10.1.10 View mode

When troubleshooting a configuration, it is often helpful to be able to view the intermediate outputs of function
blocks that are not configured as display variables during normal operation. This can be accomplished via the
VIEW mode. To enter VIEW mode:
1. Press ENTER/EXIT CONF to display LOOP.
2. Press STEP DOWN to display VIEW.
3. Press STEP DOWN to display the first output of the first configured function block.
4. Use the pulser knob or arrow buttons to scroll through the function block outputs. Note that analog outputs are
in engineering units and discrete/status outputs (represented by the black shaded arrows in the Function Block
diagrams) are either low (0) or high (1).
5. Press EXIT to return to normal operation mode.

10.2 SYSTEM CHECKOUT

1. Check that the correct circuit boards are installed and fully seated in the case as follows. The controller model
number on the P&I drawing should match the model number on the controller's case. Compare the model
number to the Model Designation table in Section 14 to be sure the proper boards are installed.
When power is applied to the controller, an installed hardware list can be viewed in the
STATN function block. Refer to Section 3.1.2 for board description and ID.
2. Check all wiring between the controller and external equipment (e.g. transmitters, recorders, power supplies).
Check for correct and secure connections, correct wire gauge and insulation, adequate support (ties, raceways,
conduit), and protection from damage (sharp edges, moving equipment, chemicals, abrasion).
3. Test all equipment connected to the controller for proper operation. Refer to the equipment manufacturer's
literature as necessary.
4. Apply power to the controller and note the faceplate displays during power up. See Section 10.1.1 for a
description of the faceplate displays during power up.
5. Based on the controller hardware present, the current configuration in the controller, and the external
equipment, exercise the system in a systematic manner to ensure proper operation.
