4 CHECKBACK – Device status
Each bit can be masked individually for cyclic communication by the class 2 master. This al-
lows a targeted selection to be made from the active alarms.
Byte Bit Name Description
0 0 CB_FAIL_SAFE Fail-safe position: The fail-safe position has been trig-
gered. This may have been caused by the local operation,
activation of the SET_ FAIL_SAFE_POS option or due to a
communication failure.
R
1 CB_REQ_LOC_OP Request for local operation: This is set when the initializa-
tion key of the local operation is activated. A
2 CB_LOCAL_OP Local operation:
•The device has been switched to the MAN or SAFE
mode by the local operation.
•The device is in the self-testing mode (initialization, zero
point calibration or diagnostic function active). In this
case, the CB_SELFTEST bit is also set.
R
0 3 CB_OVERRIDE Operating voltage for the optional integrated solenoid
valve failed: The positioner cannot function and moves to
the fail-safe position determined by the actuator, regard-
less of the reference variable.
R
4…6 Not assigned
7 CB_TRAVE_TIME Control loop error: The control valve no longer follows the
controlled variable in the tolerable times (see error code 57
in EB 8384-4 EN).
This alarm is reset after 10 seconds. The message
CHECKBACK byte 1 bit 5 remains, in contrast, until it is
confirmed.
A
1 0…1 Not assigned
2 CB_UPDATE_EVENT Static data changed: This is set when the device data have
been changed, allowing (unintended/unauthorized)
changes from the originally set values to be monitored.
A
3 CB_SIMULATE Simulation mode active: This is set when the simulation
mode of at least one Function Block is active.
The simulation mode of the AO Function Block allows the
controlled variable x to be simulated.
The simulation mode of the DI Function Block allows the
discrete output to be simulated.
