Emerson Micro Motion 1600 - 6.4.2 Configure an enhanced event

A basic event is used to provide notification of process changes. A basic event occurs (is ON) if the real-time
value of a user-specified process variable moves above (HI) or below (LO) a user-defined setpoint. Event status
can be queried via digital communications, and a Discrete Output can be configured to report event status.
You can define up to two basic events.
Procedure
1. Select the event that you want to configure.
2. Assign a process variable to the event.
3. Specify Event Type.
Option Description
HI x > A
The event occurs when the value of the assigned process variable (x) is greater
than the setpoint (Setpoint A), endpoint not included.
LO x < A
The event occurs when the value of the assigned process variable (x) is less than
the setpoint (Setpoint A), endpoint not included.
4. Set a value for Setpoint A.
5. Optional: Configure a Discrete Output to switch states in response to the event status.

An enhanced event is used to provide notification of process changes and, optionally, to perform specific
transmitter actions if the event occurs. An enhanced event occurs (is ON) if the real-time value of a user-
specified process variable moves above (HI) or below (LO) a user-defined setpoint, or in range (IN) or out of
range (OUT) with respect to two user-defined setpoints.
You can define up to five enhanced events. For each enhanced event, you can assign one or more actions that
the transmitter will perform if the enhanced event occurs.
Procedure
1. Select the event that you want to configure.
2. Assign a process variable to the event.
3. Specify Event Type.
Option
Description
HI x > A
The event occurs when the value of the assigned process variable (x) is greater
than the setpoint (Setpoint A), endpoint not included.
LO x < A
The event occurs when the value of the assigned process variable (x) is less than
the setpoint (Setpoint A), endpoint not included.
