The transmitter diagnostics continually tests the process parameters of temperature:
-if the measured process variable value increases above the upper value of the base range
relative to URL, when UPL is reached, the diagnostics will trigger alarm I_AL<3,600 mA.
Temperature return below UPL point will result in deactivation of the alarm and restoration
of the transmitter to its normal operation;
-if the measured process variable value decreases below the lower value of the base range
relative to LRL, when LRL is reached, the diagnostics will trigger alarm I_AL<3,600 mA.
Temperature return above the LPL point will result in deactivation of the alarm and restoration
of the transmitter to its normal operation.
The transmitter diagnostics continually tests electric parameters and software resources
of the transmitter:
-if the internal diagnostics detects malfunctions or failures of the transmitter that are not critical
for integrity of hardware and software, the transmitter software will trigger alarm
I_AL<3,600 mA. The diagnostic alarm state will continue until the malfunction or failure
is resolved. The transmitter will set the current output to the alarm state I_AL<3,600 mA;
-if the internal diagnostics detects 20 unauthorised access attempts to write operation or pass-
word change protection codes, the transmitter will set the current output to alarm
I_AL<3,600 mA. This state will continue to exist until the transmitter software reset is performed
or until power supply is disconnected and then re-connected.
Critical diagnostics:
-it detects: RAM, FLASH, CPU errors and current mismatch in the current loop in alarm mode.
The detected errors stop internalSIL watchdog refreshing, disable the internal transmitter power
supply and trigger alarm current I_AL<<3,600 mA (rated I_AL<0,300 mA). To restore the oper-
ation of the transmitter after a critical alarm, it is required to disconnect the transmitter from its
power supply temporarily at the terminals and then re-connect it. The occurrence
of a critical alarm with correct power supply parameters at the transmitter terminals usually
indicates a serious malfunction of the transmitter. During a critical alarm, the transmitter LCD
display is blank.
8.2. Configuration of the operating mode
Before starting the work with the transmitter, the following parameters must be configured:
-basic unit of the transmitter process variable;
-measurement input type (voltage/resistance);
-measurement sensor processing characteristics (selection of sensor linearization characteris-
tics);
-measurement sensitivity range (100 mV/1000 mV or 400 Ω/2000 Ω);
-type of sensor connections, number of terminals, CJC configuration (internal, external
or none);
-type of the mathematical function processing the signal from two sensors (2 x RTD 2-wire con-
nection, 2 x RTD 3-wire connection, 2 x thermocouple, 2 x thermocouple with external CJC (see
➔Figure 3. Methods of connecting sensors, potentiometers and voltage sources.)):
-difference of measurements from channels: Ch1-Ch2 or Ch2-Ch1;
-measurement average: 0,5 (Ch1+Ch2);
-minimum value of the two measurements: min (Ch1, Ch2);
-maximum value of the two measurements: max (Ch1, Ch2).
-additional parameters such as offset of measuring channels or compensation of sensor lead
resistance;
-start point of the set LRV range in the basic unit;
