6.4.2 Configure an enhanced event

Display Menu > Configuration > Alert Setup > Enhanced Events
ProLink III Device Tools > Configuration > Events > Enhanced Events
Field Communicator Configure > Alert Setup > Enhanced Events
An enhanced event is used to provide notification of process changes and, optionally, to perform specific
transmitter actions if the event occurs. An enhanced event occurs (is ON) if the real-time value of a user-
specified process variable moves above (HI) or below (LO) a user-defined setpoint, or in range (IN) or out of
range (OUT) with respect to two user-defined setpoints. Event status can be queried via digital
communications, and a discrete output can be configured to report event status.
You can define up to five enhanced events. For each enhanced event, you can assign one or more actions that
the transmitter will perform if the enhanced event occurs.
Procedure
1. Select the event that you want to configure.
2. Assign a process variable to the event.
3. Specify Event Type.
Option
HI
LO
IN
OUT
4. Set values for the required setpoints.
• For HI and LO events, set Setpoint A.
• For IN and OUT events, set Setpoint A and Setpoint B.
5. Optional: Configure a Discrete Output to switch states in response to the event status.
6. Optional: Specify the action or actions that the transmitter will perform when the event occurs.
Using the display: Choose Menu > Configuration > Alert Setup > Enhanced Events, select any
•
enhanced event, and choose Assign Actions. Then assign the desired action to the desired
enhanced event.

Description
x > A
The event occurs when the value of the assigned process variable (x) is greater
than the setpoint (Setpoint A), endpoint not included.
x < A
The event occurs when the value of the assigned process variable (x) is less than
the setpoint (Setpoint A), endpoint not included.
A ≤ x ≤ B
The event occurs when the value of the assigned process variable (x) is in range,
that is, between Setpoint A and Setpoint B, endpoints included.
x ≤ A or x ≥ B
The event occurs when the value of the assigned process variable (x) is out of
range, that is, less than Setpoint A or greater than Setpoint B, endpoints
included.
