Error message
Causes/Corrective actions
Characteristic not
monotone
The error message disappears when the characteristic curve is set correctly according
to the description in parameter 2.4.2 Free characteristic curve (Page 86).
Tight closing not
active
Parameter "Tight closing " must be activated so that the parameter "3.3.4 Lower
endstop" or "3.3.5 Upper endstop" set in the menu "3.3 Initialization values" (Page 92)
is executed.
Setpoint current
range too small
Possible cause: Span between current limits is too small.
Make sure that the values entered in the parameters "2.4.1.6 Current 0%" and "2.4.1.7
Current 100%" (Page 85) are at least 4 mA apart.
Travel range limits
too close
Possible cause: Span between travel range limits is too narrow.
Make sure that the values entered in the parameters "2.1.5 Lower travel range limit"
(Page 73) and "2.1.6 Upper travel range limit" (Page 74) are at least 10% apart.
HART setpoint
Digital setpoint via HART. Cause: The device has been switched via HART to a mode
in which the setpoint is received via HART and not determined from the input current.
