D Cycle Count—Cycle Counter records the number of times the travel changes direction. The change in direction must
occur after the deadband has been exceeded before it can be counted as a cycle. See figure 2‐5. You can reset the
Cycle Counter by configuring it as zero.
Other Alerts
Follow the prompts on the Field Communicator to configure Drive Alert Enable:
D Drive Alert Enab—Yes or No. Drive Alert Enable activates checking of the relationship between the Drive Signal and
the calibrated travel. If one of the following conditions exists for more than 20 seconds, the Drive Alert is set.
For the case where Zero Control Signal is defined as closed:
Drive Signal < 10% and Calibrated Travel > 3%
Drive Signal > 90% and Calibrated Travel < 97%
For the case where Zero Control Signal is defined as open:
Drive Signal < 10% and Calibrated Travel < 97%
Drive Signal > 90% and Calibrated Travel > 3%
Alert Record
The alert record can store up to 20 alerts from any of the enabled alert groups: Valve Alerts, Failure Alerts, or
Miscellaneous Alerts. Starting from a cleared database, the first 20 alerts that become active will be stored in memory.
Follow the prompts on the Field Communicator to set or display the following:
D Display Record—Displays all recorded alerts and the date and time the alerts were recorded.
D Clear Record—Clears the alert record. To clear the alert record, all alerts in enabled groups must be inactive.
D Inst Date & Time—Permits setting the instrument clock. When alerts are stored in the alert record, the date and time
(obtained from the instrument clock) that they were stored is also stored in the record. The instrument clock uses a
24-hour format. Enter the date and time in the form: MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS, where MM is two digits for the
month (1 through 12), DD is two digits for the day (1 through 31), and YYYY is four digits for the year (1980 through
2040), HH is two digits for the hour (00 to 23), MM is two digits for the minutes (00 to 59), and SS is two digits for
the seconds (00 through 59).
D Record Group Enab—Permits enabling one or more alert groups. Table 3‐2 lists the alerts included in each of the
groups. When any alert from an enabled group becomes active, active alerts in all enabled groups are stored.
