13.2 Monitoring the Device Status
The device status provides an overview of the overall condition of the device. Many process
visualization systems record the device status for a device in order to present its condition in
graphic form.
The device displays its current status as
error
or
ok
in the
Device status
frame. The device
determines this status from the individual monitoring results.
The device enables you to:
Out-of-Band signalling using a signal contact
signal the changed device status by sending an SNMP trap
detect the device status in the
Basic Settings > System
dialog of the Graphical User Interface
query the device status in the Command Line Interface
The
Global
tab of the
Diagnostics > Status Configuration > Device Status
dialog lets you configure the
device to send a trap to the management station for the following events:
Incorrect supply voltage
– at least one of the 2 supply voltages is not operating
– the internal supply voltage is not operating
When the device is operating outside of the user-defined temperature threshold
Loss of the redundancy (in ring manager mode)
The interruption of link connection(s)
Configure at least one port for this feature. When the link is down, you specify which ports the
device signals in the
Port
tab of the
Diagnostics > Status Configuration > Device Status
dialog in the
Propagate connection error
row.
The removal of the external memory.
The configuration in the external memory is out-of-sync with the configuration in the device.
The removal of a module
Select the corresponding entries to decide which events the device status includes.
Note: With a non-redundant voltage supply, the device reports the absence of a supply voltage. To
disable this message, feed the supply voltage over both inputs or ignore the monitoring.
13.2.1 Events which can be monitored
Table 32:
Device Status
events
Name Meaning
Temperature
Monitors in case the temperature exceeds or falls below the value
specified.
Ring redundancy
When ring redundancy is present, enable this function.
Connection errors
Enable this function to monitor every port link event in which the
Propagate
connection error
checkbox is active.
Ethernet module
removal
Enable this global function to monitor the removal of a module. Also enable
the individual module to monitor.
External memory
removal
Enable this function to monitor the presence of an external storage device.
External memory not in
sync
The device monitors synchronization between the device configuration and
the configuration stored on the ENVM.
Power supply
Enable this function to monitor the power supply.
