9.4.1
Alarm Categories (NAMUR NE-107)
Field Diagnostics uses the classification of NAMUR NE-107, which are defined as follows:
•
Failure – Output signal invalid due to malfunction in the field device or its peripherals e.g. a
broken glass electrode.
•
Out of Specification – The device is operating outside its specified range or an internal diag-
nostic indicates deviations from measured or set values due to internal problems in the
device or process characteristics e.g. a high temperature condition.
•
Maintenance – Although the output signal is valid, the wear reserve is nearly exhausted or a
function will soon be restricted due to operational conditions.
•
Check Function – Output signal temporarily invalid (e.g. frozen) due to on-going work on
the device.
9.4.2
Field Diagnostics Configuration
Field Diagnostics can be configured to meet the requirements of the transmitter application and
tested using the following actions:
•
Map – Maps alarms to a particular alarm category
•
Priority – Sets the priority of each alarm category
•
Mask – Suppresses the broadcast of any alarm or alarms to the host
•
Simulate – Allows alarms to be manually simulated; requires the simulate jumper to be in
place on the 1066pH circuit board.
9.4.3
PlantWeb Alerts
Legacy hosts, such as DeltaV version 10.3, cannot implement Field Diagnostics, but can imple-
ment PlantWeb Alerts. The 1066pH also supports PlantWeb Alerts, which has different categories
for classifying diagnostic alarms. They are:
•
Failed
•
Maintenance
•
Advisory
•
No Category
9.4.4
PlantWeb Alerts Configuration
As with Field Diagnostics, PlantWeb Alerts can be configured per the application requirements:
•
Enable (Map) – Maps alarms to a particular alarm category
•
Priority – Sets the priority of each alarm category
