5.4 Error messages
5.4.1 Type of error
Errors that occur during commissioning or measuring 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. → Page 121
• Process error: This group includes all application errors, e.g. fluid not homogeneous, etc.
→ Page 132

Fig. 28: 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: e.g. MEDIUM INHOM. = fluid is not homogeneous
4 Error number: e.g. #702
5 Duration of most recent error occurrence (in hours, minutes and 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. → Page 121 ff.
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.
• Displayed as → Exclamation mark (!), error designation (S: system error, P: process error)
• PROFIBUS error display → Page 121
Fault message ( $)
• The error in question interrupts or stops the current operation.
• Displayed as → Lightning flash ( $ ), error designation (S: system error, P: process error)
• PROFIBUS error display → Page 121
!
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.
