Malfunctions are indicated on the display
by error codes. Annex A lists possible error
messages and recommended action.
The error codes appear on the display corre-
spondingtotheirstatusclassicationsetover
thecondensedstate(Maintenancerequired/
Maintenance demanded: ,Outofspeci-
cation: blinking, Maintenance alarm: ).
If 'No message' is assigned to the error code
asthestatusclassication,theerrorisnotin-
cluded in the condensed state.
Astatusclassicationisassignedtoevery
error code in the default setting. The assign-
mentofthestatusclassicationcanbe
changedinTROVIS-VIEWandoverthepa-
rameters of the DD. Refer to the Operating

Toprovideabetteroverview,theclassied
messages are summarized in a condensed
state for the positioner according to the
NAMURRecommendationNE107.Thesta-
tus messages are divided into the following
categories:
− Maintenance alarm
The positioner cannot perform its control
task due to a malfunction in the position-
er itself or in one of its peripherals or the
positioner has not yet been successfully
initialized.
− Maintenance required
The positioner still performs its control
task (with restrictions). A maintenance
demand or above average wear has
been determined. The wear tolerance will
soon be exhausted or is reducing at a
faster rate than expected. Maintenance is
necessary in the medium term.
− Maintenance demanded
The positioner still performs its control
task (with restrictions). A maintenance
demand or above average wear has
been determined. The wear tolerance will
soon be exhausted or is reducing at a
faster rate than expected. Maintenance is
necessary in the short term.
− Out of specication
The device is running outside the speci-
edoperatingconditions..
Ifaneventisclassiedas“Nomessage”,this
event does not have any affect on the con-
densed state.
