5.4 Error messages
5.4.1 Type of error
Errors which occur during commissioning or measuring operation are displayed
immediately. If two or more system or process errors occur, the error with the highest
priority is the one shown on the display.
The measuring system distinguishes between two types of error:
• System error: This group includes all device errors, e.g. communication errors, hardware
errors, etc. → 132
• Process error: This group comprises all application errors, e.g. empty pipe etc. → 141

Fig. 47: Error messages on the display (example)
1 Error type: P = process error, S = system error
2 Error message type:
$
= fault message, ! = notice message
3 Error designation
4 Error number
5 Duration of most recent error occurrence (hours:minutes:seconds)
5.4.2 Error message type
The measuring device always assigns system and process errors which occur to two types of
error messages (fault or notice messages) resulting in different weightings. → 132
Serious system errors, e.g. module defects, are always identified and classed as "fault
messages" by the measuring device.
Notice message (!)
• The error in question has no effect on the current operation and the outputs of the
measuring device.
• Displayed as Exclamation mark (!), error type (S: system error, P: process error).
• Displaying the device status on PROFIBUS DP/PA→ 132
Fault message (
$
)
• The error in question interrupts or stops the current operation and has an immediate
effect on the outputs.
• Displayed as Lightening flash (
$
), error type (S: system error, P: process error)
• Displaying the device status on PROFIBUS DP/PA → 132
!
Note!
• Error conditions can be output via the relay outputs or the fieldbus communication.
• If an error message occurs, an upper or lower signal level for the breakdown information
according to NAMUR NE 43 can be output via the current output.
