Promag 53 PROFIBUS-DP/-PA 5 Operation
Endress+Hauser 69
Disabling the programming mode
Programming mode is disabled if you do not press a key within 60 seconds following
automatic return to the HOME position.
You can also disable programming in the “ACCESS CODE” function by entering any
number (other than the customer's code).
5.2.3 Error messages
Type of error
Errors which occur during commissioning or measuring operation are displayed imme-
diately. 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 errors: This group comprises all device errors, e.g. communication errors,
hardware errors, etc.
→ see Page 115
• Process errors: This group comprises all application errors, e.g. empty pipe, etc.
→ see Page 115
Fig. 45: Error messages on the display (example)
1 Error type: P = process error, S = system error
2 Error message type: $ = fault signal, ! = notice message (definition:
→ Page 115 ff.)
3 Error designation: e.g. EMPTY PIPE = measuring tube is only partly filled or completely empty
4 Error number: e.g. #401
5 Duration of most recent error occurrence (in hours, minutes and seconds)
Error message type
The device assigns system error and process error to two error message types (fault
message or notice message) in accordance with a predefined algorithm and classifies
them accordingly
→ Page 115 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 measurement currently in progress.
• Displayed as → Exclamation mark (!), error type (S: system error, P: process error).
• PROFIBUS-DP/-PA → Errors of this type are registered in the Transducer Block with
an “UNC(ERTAIN)” status for the process variable in question.
Fault message (
)
• The error in question interrupts or stops measurement currently in progress.
• Displayed as → Lightning flash (
), error designation (S: system error, P: process
error).
• PROFIBUS-DP/-PA → Errors of this type are registered in the Transducer Block with a
“BAD” status for the process variable in question.
