This Manual (KH 8384-3 EN) supplements the standard instructions for Types 3730-3, 3730-6
and 3731-3 Positioners and the associated diagnostics instructions.

These instructions describe the most important HART® commands used together with the above
listed SAMSON positioners.
1.1 HART® revisions
Type3730-3 and Type3731-3
HART® revision5 is used in these positioners by default. Switchover to HART® revision6 is pos-
sible using the operator interface.
Type3730-6
HART® revision5 is used in this positioner by default. Switchover to HART® revision6 is not
possible.

Device status and response code
KH 8384-3 EN 5
2 Device status and response code
The device response consists of 2 bytes. The rst byte represents either the communication sta-
tus or the response code. If the most signicant bit (0x80) of the rst byte is set, this byte rep-
resents the communication status. If the bit is not set, the rst byte represents the response code
according to Table 3.
2.1 Communication status
A communication status is indicated by the response code when a communication error occurs.
Table 2: Communication status
Bit Denition
0x80 This bit must be set to 1 to show a communication error.
0x40 Vertical Parity Error – The parity of one or more of the bytes received by the device
was not uneven.
0x20 Overrun Error – At least one byte of data in the receive buffer of the UART was
overwritten before it was read (i.e. the slave did not process the incoming byte fast
enough).
0x10 Framing Error – The stop bit of one or more bytes received by the device was not de-
tected by the UART (i.e. a marking or 1 was not detected if a stop bit should have oc-
curred).
0x08 Longitudinal Parity Error – The Longitudinal Parity calculated by the device did not
match the Longitudinal Parity byte at the end of the message.
0x04 Reserved – set to zero.
0x02 Buffer Overow – The message was too long for the receive buffer of the device.
0x01 Reserved – set to zero.
If a communication error has not occurred, the response code contains a zero in the highest
valued bit and the code represents the following described code (0 to 127). The response code
is transferred in the rst byte of the data eld and indicates the status of the command. A zero
value indicates that the command is OK. A value unequal to zero means that there is an error
(see section 2.2 Response code on page 6).

2.3 Device status
This byte indicates the current status of the eld device.
Table 4: Device status
Bit Denition
0x80 The device has detected a serious error. This error endangers the functioning of the
device.
0x40 Conguration Changed – The device conguration has been changed. It can have
been changed by HART®, TROVIS-VIEW or using the local operation.
0x20 Cold Start – The device has been restarted.
0x10 More Status Available – Further status information is available in Code 48, Read
Additional Status Information.
0x08 Loop Current Fixed – The loop current is kept at a xed value and does not respond
anymore to the process variables.
0x04 Loop Current Saturated – The loop current has reached its top (or bottom) limit and
cannot rise (or fall) any further.
0x02 Non-Primary Variable Out of Limits – A device variable, other than that of the
Primary Variable, is beyond the operating limits of the device.
0x01 Primary Variable Out of Limits – The Primary Variable PV is beyond the operating
limits of the device.
