Standard Event Mask Check all boxes for inclusion in the message event as viewed on the “Event Status
Subtab” on page 494 as screen LEDs:
 Process applied to the primary variable is outside the operating limits of the field
device: Check to set an event when PV moves outside of field device limits. The
PV limits are defined in the 4-20 mA tab (PV Upper Range Value/PV Lower Range
Value). See “Configure 4-20 mA Tab” on page 481.
 Process applied to the non-primary variable is outside the operating limits of the
field device: Check to set an event when a variable moves outside of field device
limits.
 PV Analog Channel Saturated: Check to set an event when the electrical limits
established by the field device are exceeded for the corresponding analog
channel.
 PV Analog Channel Fixed: Check to set an event when the corresponding analog
channel is directly or indirectly in manual control.
 Field device has more status available: Check to set an event when more status
information is available via command 48.
 A reset or self test of the field device has occurred, or power has been removed
and reapplied: Check to set an event when any of these events occur.
 A modification has been made to the configuration of the field device: Check to
set an event when any change is made to the field device configuration.
 Field device has malfunctioned due to a hardware error or failure: Check to set an
event when a hardware failure occurs.
 Maintenance required: Check to set an event when the device has not malfunc-
tioned, but requires maintenance. This is set if any of the Alert messages is
active or is in the history. You must clear all the alerts to reset.
 Device variable alert: Check to set an event when the PV goes out of range.
 Critical power failure: Check to set an event when a power failure causes a
reboot.
 Secondary Analog Channel Fixed: Check to set an event when the corresponding
analog channel is directly or indirectly in manual control.
 Tertiary Analog Channel Fixed: Check to set an event when the corresponding
analog channel is directly or indirectly in manual control.
 Quaternary Analog Channel Fixed: Check to set an event when the correspond-
ing analog channel is directly or indirectly in manual control.
 Quinary Analog Channel Fixed: Check to set an event when the corresponding
analog channel is directly or indirectly in manual control.
 Secondary Analog Channel Saturated: Check to set an event when the electrical
limits established by the field device are exceeded for the corresponding analog
channel.
