Error system
The converter system is equipped with an error and status log system with 4 groups of information.
•
Information without a functional error involved
•
Warnings which may cause malfunction in the application. The cause of the error may disappear
on its own
•
Permanent errors which may cause malfunction in the application. The error requires an operator
•
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 converter setup menu.
Acceptance levels
•
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
The error information is displayed in the title and subtitle line. The title line will show the time since
occurrence of error. The subtitle line will flash between an error text and a remedy text. The error
text will indicate type of error (I, W, P or F), error No. and error text. The remedy text will inform the
operator of the action to take to remove the 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 with an error 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.
