Transmitter faults are grouped into one of these three diagnostic categories and could cause the
following results:
Non-Critical Fault Transmitter continues to calculate PV output.
1.
Critical Fault Transmitter drives PV output to failsafe state.
2.
Block Configuration Errors Incorrect parameter values causes the transmitter to
3.
generate a fault, for example, BLOCK_ERR or MODE_BLK = OOS.
A description of each condition in each category is provided in Table 37, Table 38, and Table 39.
The condition is described, a probable cause is stated and a recommended corrective action is
