Why parameters cannot be changed in Endress+Hauser Measuring Instruments?
E
Eileen PerezAug 14, 2025
Parameters that only show values or settings cannot be changed. Also, the hardware write protection may be enabled; check the WRITE_LOCK parameter in the Resource Block: LOCKED indicates write protection is enabled, while UNLOCKED means it's disabled. The block operating mode might be set incorrectly; some parameters are changeable only in OOS (out of service) or MAN (manual) modes. The entered value could be outside the parameter's specified input range; enter a suitable value or increase the input range if needed. For Transducer Blocks, the programming level might not be enabled; enable it by entering the code in the "Un-/Locking - Access Code" parameter or using the Service Code in the Service parameters.

First, check the pin assignment and wiring, ensuring the coupling ring is tightened correctly on the connector and fieldbus port. Next, verify a minimum bus voltage of 9 V DC is present at terminals 1/2, within the permissible range of 9 to 32 V DC. Also, check the permissible fieldbus length and the number of spurs. Ensure there's a basic current of at least 16 mA. Verify the bus address to avoid duplicate assignments. Confirm the FOUNDATION Fieldbus network is correctly terminated with bus terminators at both ends of each segment to prevent communication interference. Finally, check the current consumption of the bus segment, ensuring it doesn't exceed the maximum permissible feed current of the bus power supply unit.

This is likely due to a communication error, either no data reception between the amplifier and I/O board or a faulty internal data transfer. Check that the electronics boards are correctly inserted in their holders.
