APPENDIX B - ALARM EVENT LOG
The multiplexer maintains a log of alarm events that may read using the Instrument
Management Software. The types of event that might appear can be grouped into the
following categories:
•
General information
•
Multiplexer internal parameters or values
•
Diagnostic errors causing reset
The possible event log messages are listed below by category, and the meaning or
appropriate action is supplied beside them.
General logs
Meaning or required action
!Alarm generated by HART test command 242
MTL diagnostic test activated
!No storage space for transmitter
Memory full of field device data
!Found a pre Rev 5 HART transmitter
Check manufacturer for update
!Other master detected on loop
Secondary master present
!Alarm Clear input used to reset alarms
Download of bootloader started
Firmware update in progress
Bootloader download complete, module will restart
Firmware update completed
Debug mode. No CRC installed in flash memory
Reset due to Watchdog or Brownout
See list of causes below
