Emerson Micro Motion 5700 - Configure Events; Configure a Basic Event

6.4 Configure events
An event occurs when the real-time value of a user-specified process variable moves past a user-defined
setpoint. Events are used to provide notification of process changes or to perform specific transmitter actions
if a process change occurs.
Your transmitter supports two event models:
• Basic event model
• Enhanced event model
Tip
Use enhanced events rather than basic events. Enhanced events can perform all the functions of basic events,
and they add the following:
• Defining events by range (In Range or Out of Range), in addition to High and Low
• Triggering transmitter actions if an event occurs

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.
