PlantWeb Alert Simulate
When enabled, PlantWeb Alert Simulate (PWA_SIMULATE [39])
allows the user to write to the following PlantWeb and
Instrument alert parameters; Failed Active, Maintenance Active, Advise Active, Environment Active, Travel Active,
Proximity Active, Travel History Active, Performance Active, PD Event Active, PD Detail 1 Active, PD Detail 2 Active, PD
Detail 3 Active, PD Detail 4 Active, PD Detail 5 Active, PD Detail 6 Active. This provides a way to simulate these alerts
for testing. In order to enable PWA Simulate, the Aux Terminal must be jumpered.
PlantWeb Alert Simulate is cleared on a power cycle. It can also be cleared manually, or by removing the Aux terminal
jumper.
Simulate Active Alerts
Failed Active—Permits simulating an active Failed alarm (FAILED_ACTIVE [59]).
Maintenance Active—Permits simulating an active Maintenance alarm (MAINT_ACTIVE [60]).
Advise Active—Permits simulating an active Advisory alarm (ADVISE_ACTIVE [61]).
PlantWeb Alert Handling
PlantWeb Alerts Set PV Status—When selected, PlantWeb alerts will set the PV status according to table 4‐11.
Block Error Reporting—When enabled, the AO or DO BLOCK_ERR [6] parameter will report PlantWeb Alerts. the
same as Block Error in the resource block.
Block Error bit 6 (Device Needs Maintenance Soon) will report any active PlantWeb Maintenance Alert.
Block Error bit 13 (Device Needs Maintenance Now) will report any active PlantWeb Failed Alert.
Block Errors
Table 4‐13 lists conditions reported in the BLOCK_ERR [6] and XD_ERR [11] parameters. Conditions in italics are not
applicable for the transducer block and are provided only for your reference.
Table 4‐13. Transducer Block BLOCK_ERR and XD_ERROR Conditions
Condition Number Condition Name and Description
0 Other ‐ (N/A)
1
Block Configuration Error ‐ Indicates that one of the following parameters have been configured out of the proper range: 15,
16, 47.1, 47.2, 46.3, 46.5, 42.7, 42.8.
2 Link Configuration Error ‐ (N/A)
3
Simulate Active ‐ Indicates that the simulation jumper is in place on the aux terminals. This is not an indication that the I/O
blocks are using simulation data. See AO block parameter SIMULATE [10] and DO block parameter SIMULATE_D [10].
4 Local Override ‐ (N/A)
5 Device Fault State - (NA)
6 Maintenance Needed Soon ‐ (N/A)
7 Input failure/process variable has Bad status ‐ (N/A)
8 Output failure ‐ (N/A)
9 Memory failure ‐ (N/A)
10 Lost Static Data ‐ Indicates that manufacturing functional or thermal tests were incomplete
11 Lost NV Data ‐ (N/A)
12 Readback Check Failed ‐ (N/A)
13 Device Needs Maintenance Now ‐ Indicates that manufacturing functional or thermal tests were incomplete
14 Power Up ‐ (N/A)
15 Out of Service ‐ Indicates Out of Service Mode.
