Alarm and saturation values for multidrop mode
Transmitters set to multidrop mode handle saturation and alarm conditions differently.
Alarm conditions
Primary variable is sent with a status bit set
Percent of range follows primary variable
Temperature is sent with a status bit set
Saturation
Primary variable is sent normally
Temperature is sent normally
2.8.5
Alarm level verification
To verify the transmitter alarm values, perform a loop test and set the transmitter output to
the alarm value (see Tables
, and
). This feature is also useful in testing the reaction of the control
system to a transmitter in an alarm state.
2.8.6
Process alerts
Process alerts allow the user to configure the transmitter to output a HART message when
the configured data point is exceeded. Process alerts can be set for pressure, temperature,
or both. A process alert will be transmitted continuously if the pressure or temperature set
points are exceeded and the alert mode is
ON
. An alert will be displayed on a Field
Communicator, or AMS Device Manger status screen. The alert will reset once the value
returns within range.
Note
HI alert value must be higher than the LO alert value. Both alert values must be within the
pressure or temperature sensor limits.
Field Communicator
To configure the process alerts with a Field Communicator, perform the following
procedure:
1.
From the
HOME
screen, follow the Fast Key sequence listed.
2.
Select
3, Config Press Alert
to configure the pressure alert.
Select
4, Config Temp Alert
to configure the temperature alerts.
3.
Use the right arrow key to configure the HI and LO alert values.
4.
Use the left arrow to move back to the process alert menu.
Select
1, Press Alert Mode
to turn on the pressure alert mode.
Select
2, Temp Alert Mode
to turn on the temperature alert mode.
