4.  Diagnostics
4.1  Self-Diagnostics
4.1.1   Identify Problems by Using HART 
Conguration Tool
The HART conguration tool can be used to run 
self-diagnostics on a transmitter and check for 
incorrect data settings.
(1)  DD and DTM (excluding EJX HART 5 DTM 
based on FDT1.2)
The Self test and Status commands are available 
for self-diagnostics. When Self test is run, the 
integral indicator shows an error code and alarm 
message if the transmitter detects any illegal 
parameter settings or functional faults. See Table 
4.5 Alarm Message Summary for probable cause 
and countermeasures.
•  Procedure to call up the Self test display 
[Root Menu] → Diag/Service → 
Test (DTM)/Test device (DD) → Self test 
If no error is detected, “Self test OK” is displayed on 
the conguration tool.
If the specic diagnostic item is known for the 
check, you can directly call up the item by using the 
Status command. 
The status is categorized from 1 to 9 for HART 5, 
and from 1 to 10 for HART 7.
See Table 4.5 to determine the status group.
Show an example below to conrm the status of 
Status group 1.
•  Procedure to call up the Status display
[Root Menu] → Diag/Service → Test device (DD only) 
→ Status → Status group 1
If no error is detected, “Off” is displayed on the 
conguration tool.
If there is an error, “On” is displayed on the 
conguration tool, and a countermeasure for that 
error is necessary.
Example of display:  Illegal P LRV  On
  Illegal P URV  Off
  Illegal P SPAN  Off
  P SPAN trim err  Off
  P ZERO trim err  Off
The HART conguration tool diagnoses at each 
communication. 
When an improper operation is performed, the error 
message is displayed.
See Table 4.6 HART Conguration Tool Error 
Message.
(2)   EJX HART 5 DTM based on FDT1.2
The Device Status commands are used for self-
diagnostics. When Device Status is run, the 
integral indicator shows an error code and alarm 
message if the transmitter detects any illegal 
parameter settings or functional faults. See Table 
4.5 Alarm Message Summary for probable cause 
and countermeasures.
•  Procedure to call up the Device Status display 
Device Status
If no error is detected, “Status: Normal” is displayed 
on the conguration tool.
If the specic diagnostic item is known for the 
check, you can directly call up the item by using the 
Diagnostic List in the Device Status display.
The Diagnostic List is categorized to Device Status, 
Hardware Failure, Transducer Status, Diag Status, 
and Conguration.
See Table 4.5 Alarm Message Summary.
If no error is detected, color symbol which shows 
Normal State is displayed on top of the error 
message.
If color symbol which shows Error State is 
displayed, there is an error and a countermeasure 
for that error is necessary.
The HART conguration tool diagnoses at each 
communication. 
When an improper operation is performed, the error 
message is displayed.
See Table 4.6 HART Conguration Tool Error 
Message.
