Emerson Process Management 2400S manual 8.10.8Fault timeout, 8.11Configuring device settings

Optional Configuration

To configure digital communications fault action:

•Using ProLink II, see Figure B-2.

•Using a DeviceNet tool, see Table C-7.

Note: This functionality is not available via the display menus.

8.10.8Fault timeout

By default, the transmitter activates the digital communications fault action as soon as the fault is detected. The fault timeout allows you to delay the digital communications fault action for a specified interval, for certain faults only. During the fault timeout period, digital communications behaves normally.

Note: The fault timeout applies only to the digital communications fault action. The “alarm active” status bit is set as soon as the fault is detected (all alarm severity levels), and the “alarm active” record is written to history immediately (Fault and Informational alarms only). For more information on alarm handling, see Section 7.6. For more information on alarm severity, see Section 8.8.

The fault timeout applies only to specific faults. Other faults are reported immediately, regardless of the fault timeout setting. For information on which faults are affected by the fault timeout, see Table 8-8.

To configure fault timeout:

•Using ProLink II, see Figure B-2.

•Using a DeviceNet tool, see Table C-7.

Note: This functionality is not available via the display menus.
