Error messages
Type of error
Errors that occur during commissioning or measuring are displayed immediately. If two or more sys-
tem or process errors occur, the error with the highest priority is the one shown on the display. The
measuring system distinguishes between two types of error:
System error:
•
This group comprises all device errors, e.g. communication errors, hardware errors,
etc. → Page 74 ff.
This group includes all application errors, e.g. fluid not homogeneous, etc. →
Process error:

Error type: P = process error, S = system error
Type of error message: $ = fault message, ! = notice message

Error designation: e.g. FLUID INHOM. = fluid is not homogeneous

Type of error message
System and process errors are always assigned to two types of error messages (fault and notice mes-
sages) and have different weightings → Page 74 ff.
Serious system errors, e.g. electronic module defects, are always identified and classed as "fault mes-
sages" by the measuring device.
Notice message (!)
• The error in question has no effect on measurement currently in progress.
• Displayed as → Exclamation mark (!), error type (S: system error, P: process error).
• PROFIBUS → Errors of this type are registered in the manufacturer-specific Transducer block
with the status "UNC(ERTAIN)" for the process variable in question.
Fault message ( $)
• The error in question interrupts or stops the measurement currently in progress.
• Displayed as → Lightning flash ( $) error designation (S: system error, P: process error).
• PROFIBUS → Errors of this type are registered in the manufacturer-specific Transducer block
with the status "BAD" for the process variable in question.
