Process Station ABB FieldController 800
35
The color of the node in the display provides information about the effects of its configuration
change on other objects. Higher-level information may also need to be updated in the station.
In commissioning, nodes are displayed in the same formats as in configuration.
See Engineering Manual, System Configuration, Project Tree, Display of project object
states. The following details may appear after the object name and type. All states except Run-
ning are displayed in red.
6.4.1 Resource state displays
No
connection The system bus connection has been interrupted, or initialize all is cur-
rently being executed, or no connection is possible, e.g. because of an in-
valid network address or an incorrect station number.
Any interruption in the system bus connection will be signaled after
approx. 15 seconds.
No operating
system Seen when system is first switched on, or after initialize all of resource. No
operating system means that the operating system is loaded but is not yet
being executed. In the FieldController the operating system is loaded when
the Boot-EPROM is bootstrapped.
The FieldController holds the operating system in the Flash mem-
ory and in contrast to a rack-based redundant process station
does not require automatic operating system adjustment, as the
operating system cannot be deleted. In the case of redundancy
however the operating system version must match for both AC
800, otherwise sync status is not possible.
Stopping Resource in transition from Running to stopped.
This state is only displayed if task processing takes a relatively
long time.
Stopped [HW] Resource has been Stopped by utilizing the RUN/STOP switch on the
FieldController
Stopped [SW] Resource → Stop was selected in commissioning
