Description
The quality code is structured as follows:
Bit
The quality codes generated by the I/O module conform to the HART revision of the field device
used.
• Field devices with HART revision 5 and 6 (Page 87)
• Field devices with HART revision 7 and higher (Page 88)
8.4.4
HART revision
8.4.4.1
Field devices with HART revision 5 and 6
Definition
The quality code is formed exclusively from the 1st and 2nd status byte (HART device status) of
the response frames (HART command 3).
Description
The quality code of field devices with HART revision 5 and 6 is structured as follows:
