Table 16 – Command Status Bytes, Bit Assignments
Byte Bit
Error/Status Description
Communication Error Cmd-Specfic Response Code (No Comm Error)
0 Reserved – Bit cleared to zero.
1 Buffer Overflow – The message was too long for the
received buffer of the device.
2 Reserved – Bit cleared to zero.
3
Longitudinal Parity Error – The longitudinal parity
calculated by the device did not match the check byte at
the end of the message.
Byte 0 4
Framing Error – The stop bit of one or more bytes received
by the device was not detected by the UART (i.e., a mark or 1
was not detected when a stop bit should have occurred).
Command-Specific Response Code (0-127)
See Table 17 below.
5
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 incoming byte fast enough).
6 Vertical Parity Error – The parity of one or more of the bytes
received by the device was not odd
7 1: Set bit means byte represents communications error. 0: Cleared bit means byte represents response code.
0 Primary Variable Out of Limits – The PV is beyond its operating limit.
1 Non-Primary Variable Out of Limits – A device variable not mapped to the PV is beyond its operating limits.
2 Loop Current Saturated – The loop current has reached its upper (or lower) endpoint limit and cannot increase (or
decease) any further.
Byte 1 3 Loop Current Fixed – The loop current is being held at a fixed value and is not responding to process variations.
Device
Status
4 More Status Available – More status information is available. Refer to
Command 48, Additional Device Status
Bytes , page 75 .
5 Cold Start – A power failure or device reset has occurred.
6 Configuration Changed – An operation was performed that changed the device’s configuration.
7 Device Malfunction – The device detected a serious error or failure that compromises device operation.
Table 17 – Command-Specific Response Codes
Code (Class) Description Code (Class) Description

limit

04 (Error) Passed parameter too small 16 (Mode Error) Access restricted
05 (Error) Too few data bytes received 18 (Error) Invalid units code
06 (Misc Error) Device-specific command error 29 (Error) Invalid Span
07 (Mode Error) In Write-Protect mode 30 (Error) Command response truncated
09 (Error) Invalid date code/Configuration change
counter mismatch/Lower range value too
high/Incorrect loop current mode or value
32 (Error) Busy
10 (Error) Lower Range value too low 64 (Error) Command not implemented
11 (Error) Upper Range value too high/Loop
current not active (device in multidrop mode)
