What to do when faults occur
If a C300 Controller fails, it will not fail into a state that should cause unsafe process
conditions. When a fault occurs, you should try and gather as much information as
possible related to the event, such as: the status of the controller, the conditions or
sequence of events that occurred before the fault. See Gathering Information for
reporting problems to Honeywell for a list of information. This information can be
gathered from various sources in the system. See Initial checks
for guidance in obtaining
information from displays, diagnostic tools and log files within the Experion system.
