Error messages
General notes
The flowmeter assigns current system and process errors to two error message types in accordance
with a predefined algorithm and classifies them accordingly:
Error message type “Fault message”:
• A message of this type immediately interrupts or stops measurement.
• Presentation on the FOUNDATION Fieldbus
→
Fault messages are transmitted to subsequent
function blocks or higher-level process control systems by means of the status “BAD” of the out-
put value OUT (AI Block).
• Local display
→
A flashing lightning symbol (
$
) is displayed
Error message type “Notice message”:
• Measurement continues despite this message.
• Presentation on the FOUNDATION Fieldbus
→
Notice messages are transmitted to subsequent
function blocks or higher-level process control systems by means of the status “UNCERTAIN” of
the output value OUT (AI Block).
• Local display
→
A flashing exclamation mark (!) is displayed.
Serious system errors, e.g. module defects, are always classed and displayed as “fault messages” by
the measuring device. Simulations and positive zero return, on the other hand, are identified as
“notice messages” only.
Error messages in the FF configuration programs
→
see Table
In the Promass 83, system and process errors are recognised and reported in the Transducer Block.
Such errors are displayed via the following parameters specified in the FOUNDATION Fieldbus spe-
cification:
• BLOCK_ERR
• Transducer Error
Detailed information on the cause of the error is shown in the (manufacturer-specific) parameter
“Un-/Locking - Access Code” by appropriate device status messages.

[.....] Quality = BAD
OUT. QUALITY = BAD
Cause:
Measuring amplifier has faulty

Remedy:
Replace the amplifier board. Spare parts
