9.2 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 enables you to
X signal the device status out-of-band via a signal contact
(see on page 185 “Monitoring the Device Status via the Signal Contact“)
X signal the device status by sending a trap when the device status changes
X detect the device status in the Web-based interface on the system side.
X query the device status in the Command Line Interface.
The device status of the device includes:
X Incorrect supply voltage,
at least one of the two supply voltages is inoperative,
the internal supply voltage is inoperative.
X The temperature threshold has been exceeded or has not been reached.
X The removal of a module (for modular devices).
X The removal of the ACA.
X The configuration on the ACA does not match that in the device.
X The interruption of the connection at at least one port. In the Basic
Settings:Port Configuration menu, you define which ports the
device signals if the connection is down (see on page 74 “Displaying
connection error messages“). On delivery, there is no link monitoring.
X Event in the ring redundancy:
Loss of the redundancy (in ring manager mode). On delivery, there is no
ring redundancy monitoring.
X Event in the ring/network coupling:
Loss of the redundancy. On delivery, there is no ring redundancy
monitoring.
The following conditions are also reported by the device in standby mode:
– Defective link status of the control line
– Partner device is in standby mode
X Failure of a fan (MACH 4000).
Select the corresponding entries to decide which events the device status
includes.
