9 Operation with an operating menu
9.1 Operating concept
Operation with an operating menu is based on an operation concept with "user roles" .
User role Meaning
Operator Operators are responsible for the devices during normal "operation". This is usually limited to reading
process values either directly at the device or in a control room. If the work with the devices goes beyond
reading, it concerns simple, application-specific functions that are used in operation. Should an error
occur, these users simple forward the information on the errors but do not intervene themselves.
Maintenance Service engineers usually work with the devices in the phases following device commissioning. They are
primarily involved in maintenance and troubleshooting activities for which simple settings have to be
made at the device. Technicians work with the devices over the entire life cycle of the product. Thus,
commissioning and advanced settings and configurations are some of the tasks they have to carry out.
Expert Experts work with the devices over the entire life cycle of the device, but, in part, have high requirements
on the devices. Individual parameters/functions from the overall functionality of the devices are required
for this purpose time and again. In addition to technical, process-oriented tasks, experts can also perform
administrative tasks (e.g. user administration). "Experts" can avail of the entire parameter set.
9.2 Structure of the operating menu
User role Submenu Meaning/use
Operator Language Only consists of the "Language" parameter (000) where the operating language for the
device is specified. The language can always be changed even if the device is locked.
Display/operat. Contains parameters that are needed to configure the measured value display (selecting
the values displayed, display format, etc.). With this submenu, users can change the
measured value display without affecting the actual measurement.
Maintenance Setup Contains all the parameters that are needed to commission measuring operations. This
submenu has the following structure:
•
Standard setup parameters
A wide range of parameters, which can be used to configure a typical application,
is available at the start. The measuring mode selected determines which parameters
are available. After making settings for all these parameters, the measuring operation
should be completely configured in the majority of cases.
•
"Extended Setup" submenu
The "Extended Setup" submenu contains additional parameters for more in-depth
configuration of the measurement operation to convert the measured value and to
scale the output signal. This menu is split into additional submenus depending on
the measuring mode selected.
