How to implement a Class 1 PROFIBUS Master Start-up (warm start) The response of the positioner to a warm start is determined by the FSAFE_TYPE parameter (fail-safe action). If FSAFE_TYPE is set to "control to fail-safe value", the positioner switches to automatic oper- ating mode and adjusts to the value determined by the FSAFE_VALUE parameter.
The list of parameters following the overview is in alphabetical order and describes all positioner parameters that can be displayed or modified using PROFIBUS communication, e.g. on a PC.

Messages and diagnostics Messages and diagnostics The Type 3785 PROFIBUS-PA Positioner provides the best opportunities for diagnostics dur- ing the initialization phase. The positioner automatically conducts detailed tests to check the mounting position and valve response as well as to evaluate them based on the entered or preset parameters.
Page 62
Messages and diagnostics Zero point error (end position) This message indicates any change that exceeds the value determined during initialization or zero adjustment by more than ±5 %. Possible sources of error: – Worn-out valve seat or plug – Foreign particles between seat and plug The message is automatically reset when zero adjustment has been competed successfully.
Messages and diagnostics Further information available This message indicates that extended diagnostic messages have been generated. 9.2 Extended diagnostic messages Binary input active This message indicates that the condition for activating the binary input has been fulfilled. Invalid start values for min. pulses in range 1 This message indicates that the pulse search for the 0 to 20 % range of the rated travel/an- gle by adapting the pulse-pause ration has not been completed yet.
Messages and diagnostics 9.3 CHECKBACK messages Fail-safe position (mode = Out of Service) This message indicates that fail-safe position was triggered by the positioner. This can be caused by selecting Out of Service mode, by activating the optional forced venting function or by a communication failure.
Page 65
Messages and diagnostics Control loop error This message indicates that the positioner fails to control within the adjusted tolerance band for error monitoring within the specified delay time. Possible sources of error: – Oscillation caused by the actuator working too fast (small travel volume) Remedy: reduce supply pressure (see section 3.1.2) or install signal pressure restriction.
Messages and diagnostics 9.4 Messages during initialization Not defined This message indicates that the positioner has not yet been initialized or that a cold start was performed. The message is reset by confirmation. Canceled This message indicates that the initialization routine was aborted by the user. The message is reset by confirmation.
Page 67
Messages and diagnostics Incorrect selection of rated travel or transmission This message indicates that the maximum travel determined, which is issued in percent of the rated travel/angle, is smaller than the selected rated travel/angle. Warning! Initialization is not canceled. Possible sources of error: –...
Page 68
Messages and diagnostics Zero point error This message indicates that the zero point determined is outside the permissible tolerance of max. ±5 % around the absolute internal value for measurement. Initialization is canceled. To remove the error, adjust mechanical zero (see section 4.4.1). After that, make sure that the yellow position pin of the travel pick-off is roughly aligned with the white line marking zero on the cover plate.
