7.1.2 Device Status Parameter in the
Transducer Block
The following table lists the conditions indicated in the
Device Status parameter. It also shows the affect the condi-
tion has on PV status, Sub-Status and Limit.
The first condition is Type Mode. If everything is running
normally and there are no Faults or Warnings, then the
device indicates it is “OK” an the local display and in
Device Status.
The next set of conditions is device faults. The device will
most likely not be able to measure level correctly if one or
more of these conditions occur. The condition will be indi-
cated in Device Status and will affect PV Status, Sub-Status
and Limit as indicated.
The next set of conditions is the device warnings. The con-
dition will not jeopardize the level measurement. However,
knowledge of the condition may be useful in troubleshooting
the device.
The following table describes the conditions that can be
seen in Device Status:
