13.2
Monitoring and diagnostic system
The device has an integrated system that continually checks the operating state of the
sender/receiver unit and the control unit.
Messages for the two system components are categorized into error messages and
warning messages depending on the anticipated effects:
Significance of warning messages
●
Measuring results are not (yet) directly influenced by a deviating system state.
●
Observance and clearance of the cause(s), e.g., through maintenance measures, are
necessary to prevent subsequent errors or device damage
Significance of malfunction messages
●
Measuring operation is no longer possible or no longer reliable.
“Diagnosis / Error messages/warnings” provides detailed information on the current device
state. To display, connect the measuring system to SOPAS ET and start the corresponding
device file.
Move the mouse to the respective message to display more details on the significance of
individual messages in a separate window. Clicking on the display shows a short
description of possible causes and corrections under “Help” (
function messages in SOPAS ET”, page 115
Warning messages are output when internal limits for individual device functions/
components are reached or exceeded which can then lead to erroneous measured values
or an imminent failure of the measuring system.
13.3
Status display LEDs
Warning or error messages are output as follows:
●
The respective relay on the control unit triggers (
see “Connection overview”, page 54
●
“Maintenance requ.” or “Failure” is displayed in the status bar of the LC display of the
control unit (
). In addition, the respective LED goes on
(“WARNING” for warnings, “FAILURE” for malfunctions).
After pressing the “Diag” button, possible causes are shown as short information in the
menu “Diagnosis” after selecting the device (e.g. “MCU control unit” or “DH SP100 Ex”).
Warning messages do not imply a malfunction of the measuring system. The current
measured value continues to be output on the analog output.
