State-related diagnostics
To report malfunctioning or status changes in a field device to a system control, it is possible to enter low-
priority diagnostics messages or status messages only in the diagnostic buffer instead of actively reporting
them to the superior control. This option can also be used for preventive maintenance or for low-priority
warnings, for example.

Diagnostics alarm
Only diagnostics or
process alarms actually
trigger the transmission of
an alarm. All other types
(preventive maintenance
and status messages) only
lead to an entry into the di-
agnostics buffer and are
thus part of the state-
based diagnostics.

Diagnosis with webConfig tool
System events are displayed in the webConfig tool via the DIAGNOSIS tab. Noteworthy system events are
recorded in the event log. Depending on their importance, the events are classified as info, warning, error
and critical error. The statistics counters detect the number of all recorded as well as non-acknowledged
messages. With the message filters, the events can be filtered according to their status and their class.
