Messages and diagnosis

9. Messages and diagnosis
During the initialization phase, the Type 3785 PROFIBUS-PA Positioner provides the best
possibilities for diagnosis. In the automatic mode, detailed tests are carried out to check the
attachment and the positioner's reaction while taking the preset or entered data into account.
When routine tests are carried out or in case of unclear diagnosis/error messages during
operation, the system should be reinitialized to enable a better assessment of the controlled
system.
