Device status
Available tabs
In this online menu, information about the device status is processed in the following four
tabs:
●
General
●
Profile
●
Status/Messages
●
Device diagnostics
"General" tab
The "General" tab contains information about the unique identification of the device, e.g.
TAG or the device serial number.
"Profile" tab
The "Profile" tan contains profile-relevant information, e.g. profile revision or revision
numbers of blocks.
"Status/Messages" tab
The "Status/Messages" tab contains an overview of the device status (DIAGNOSTICS
physical block parameter), the checkback (CHECK_BACK analog output block parameter)
and the limit status. As far as the limit status is concerned, all three-stage diagnostics events
are handled by a collective message. This means that, if any threshold of a diagnostics
event has exceeded, a corresponding limit status message is displayed here.
You will also obtain information about the statuses of:
●
"Fault message output"
●
"Alarm output 1"
●
"Alarm output 2"
●
"Binary input 1"
●
"Binary input 2".
"Device diagnostics" tab
Diagnostics events of the devices are displayed in the "Device diagnostics 1" "Device
diagnostics 2" fields of the "Device diagnostics" tab. It also contains information about the
communication, the quality and the status of the actual value as well as a message text. The
message text contains notes regarding the currently active diagnostics event.
