IEC 62591 Wireless Interface Instruction Manual (for ControlWave Micro)

Troubleshooting
Revised October-2019
ControlWave Micro? If not, use Field Tools’ AMS Device
Configurator software or a 375/475 Field Communicator to set the
Join Key in the devices, and use ControlWave Designer to set the
Join Key within the IEC 62591 application running in the
ControlWave Micro.
Is the IEC62591 module in the ControlWave Micro in the proper
slot as specified in the IEC 62591 application running in the
ControlWave Micro? If not, place the module in the proper slot or
change the slot number defined in the IEC 62591 application to
match the slot in which the module resides.
Are you using the proper datatypes for the Commission List and
Commission Point?
Is the decommission flag for each device set to FALSE in the IEC
62591 application running in the ControlWave Micro?
Does each device in the network have power? If not, connect power.
Are cables connected properly between the Smart Wireless Field
Link and the ControlWave Micro?
Are any status LEDs lit on the ControlWave Micro PSSM module?
If so, consult the ControlWave Micro instruction manual for more
information.
Did you check for error/status codes in the IEC 62591 application?
If not, follow the instructions in
Section 4.2.3
4.4 Best Practices
While the IEC62591 function block makes device data available to the
application and SCADA it does not take independent action unless the
application is designed to do so. The best recommended practice to
ensure the end device is operating optimally is either configure the
SCADA system to monitor the status of the field devices or develop
application solutions using the RTU's alarm, event, or Report By
Exception features. Information needed to make these decisions is
available in following elements of the commission list entry and the
IEC62591 function block status:
▪
odiStatus:
IEC6259 function block status output parameter
▪
obActive
: Device is actively communicating
▪
ousDeviceStatus
: Device status bits
▪
ouiBatteryDays
: Status of the device's lithium battery
▪
ousDevCommishStatus:
Device commissioning status
▪
iousiFailSafeMode
: Device failsafe mode
▪
obyteNaNFlag:
Whether slot or process variable(s) are Not-A-
Number
▪
obyte'xx'Status:
Four process variable status bits
▪
obyteLive'n'Status:
Four live value status bits
