Rosemount 5300 Series

PlantWeb™ Alerts	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 parameter (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:
	1.	Level / Interface Measurement Failure
	2.	Volume / Temperature Measurement Failure
	3.	Electronics Failure / Transducer Block
	4.	Probe Missing
	5.	Input / Output Failure
	6.	Non-Volatile Memory Failure
	7.	Electronics Failure / Output Board

Software Incompatibility ErrorFAILED_MASK

This parameter will mask any of the failed conditions listed in

FAILED_ENABLED. A bit on means that the condition is masked out from alarming and will not be reported.

FAILED_PRI

Designates the alerting priority of the FAILED_ALM, see “Alarm Priority” on page I-7. The default is 0 and the recommended values are between 8 and 15.

FAILED_ACTIVE

This parameter displays which of the alarms is active. Only the alarm with the highest priority will be displayed. This priority is not the same as the FAILED_PRI parameter described above. This priority is hard coded within the device and is not user configurable.

FAILED_ALM

Alarm indicating a failure within a device which makes the device non-operational.

MAINT_ALARMS

A maintenance alarm indicates that the device or some part of the device needs maintenance soon. If the condition is ignored, the device will eventually fail. There are five parameters associated with MAINT_ALARMS, they are described below.
