Rosemount 848T

Out of Service (OOS)

The block is not processing its tasks. When the resource block is in OOS, all blocks within the resource (device) are forced into OOS. The BLOCK_ERR parameter shows Out of Service. In this mode, changes can be made to all configurable parameters. The target mode of a block may be restricted to one or more of the supported modes.

Alarm Detection

A block alarm will be generated whenever the BLOCK_ERR has an error bit set. The types of block error for the resource block are defined above. A write alarm is generated whenever the WRITE_LOCK parameter is cleared. The priority of the write alarm is set in the following parameter:

WRITE_PRI

Table 3-4. Alarm Priority Levels

Number

Description

0

The priority of an alarm condition changes to 0 after the condition that caused the

 

alarm is corrected.

1

An alarm condition with a priority of 1 is recognized by the system, but is not

 

reported to the operator.

2

An alarm condition with a priority of 2 is reported to the operator, but does not

 

require operator attention (such as diagnostics and system alerts).

3-7

Alarm conditions of priority 3 to 7 are advisory alarms of increasing priority.

8-15

Alarm conditions of priority 8 to 15 are critical alarms of increasing priority.

 

Status Handling

 

There are no status parameters associated with the resource block.

PlantWebAlerts

The alerts and recommended actions should be used in conjunction with

 

“Operation and Maintenance” on page 4-1.

 

The Resource Block will act as a coordinator for PlantWeb alerts. There will

 

be three alarm parameters (FAILED_ALARM, MAINT_ALARM, and

 

ADVISE_ALARM) which will contain information regarding some of the device

 

errors which are detected by the transmitter software. There will be a

 

RECOMMENDED_ACTION parameter which will be used to display the

 

recommended action text for the highest priority alarm and a HEALTH_INDEX

 

parameters (0 - 100) indicating the overall health of the transmitter.

 

FAILED_ALARM will have the highest priority followed by MAINT_ALARM

 

and ADVISE_ALARM will be the lowest priority.

 

FAILED_ALARMS

 

A failure alarm indicates a failure within a device that will make the device or

 

some part of the device non-operational. This implies that the device is in

 

need of repair and must be fixed immediately. There are five parameters

 

associated with FAILED_ALARMS specifically, they are described below.

 

FAILED_ENABLED

 

This parameter contains a list of failures in the device which makes the

 

device non-operational that will cause an alert to be sent. Below is a list of

 

the failures with the highest priority first.
