DLC3020f Digital Level Controller

April 2022

Maintenance—

indicates a problem with the DLC3020f that, if ignored, could eventually lead to its failure. Maintenance

conditions require prompt action.

Advisory—

indicates

a minor problem with the DLC3020f. An advisory condition does not have an impact on the

process or device.

No Category—

the alert has not been categorized.

Suppress PlantWeb Alert—

the alert is still evaluated by the DLC3020f, but, it does not report the status condition

through an instrument alert.

Electronics

Pending Memory Fail— when selected indicates if a pending memory error has been detected in the main board.

Static Memory Fail— when selected indicates if a memory error has been detected in the main board.

Operational

PV Exceeds Sensor Range— when selected indicates if the Primary Variable (PV) has reached or exceeded the Sensor

Range and is no longer correct.

PV Range Exceeds Sensor Range— when selected indicates if the Primary Variable (PV) Range has exceeded the

range of the sensor's current calibration. The PV is still accurate but could move out of sensor range.

PV Exceeds Primary Range— when selected indicates if the the Primary Variable (PV) has exceeded the PV Range.

Calibration Validity— when selected indicates if a vital calibration parameter has been changed.

Rate Limit

Displacer Rise Rate Exceeded— when selected indicates if the device detected a rise rate that exceeded the Rapid

Rate Limit.

Displacer Fall Rate Exceeded Alert— when selected indicates if the device detected a fall rate that exceeded the

Rapid Rate Limit.

Rapid Rate Limit—when selected, triggers an alarm when the configured set point has been exceeded. Rapid rate

limit is user‐configured based on application.

Select

Clear Rate Limit Alert

to clear the alert

RTD Sensor

RTD Sensor—when selected indicates if the RTD readings are out of range or the RTD is incorrectly connected.

RTD Open—when selected indicates if the RTD is not connected.

Sensor Board

Instrument Temperature Sensor— when selected indicates if the electronic sensor readings are out of range.

Sensor Board Processor— when selected indicates if the device cannot communicate properly or other electronic

problem is effecting the processor.
