HCF_LIT-20 Rev. 3.0: Errata 2
10 June 2008
Table A3.3. Command response codes with multiple meanings
Code 29, "Invalid span", is also supported by Command #35. The relevant line should be:
Code |
Warning (W) or Error (E) |
Commands |
Alternative meanings |
29 |
E |
35, 36, 37 |
Invalid span |
Table 9.4. Field device status
and Table A3.4. Field device status
The descriptions for bits 0 and 1 were interchanged. The tables should be as follows:
Bit |
Status indication |
Meaning |
Bit 7 |
Field device malfunction |
Measurements should not be trusted |
Bit 6 |
Configuration changed 1 |
Set whenever a configuration change is made by any host, or through a local operator interface. A master should recognise this bit as a warning to re-read any cached configuration information, and should then clear the bit by sending Command #38 |
Bit 5 |
Cold start 1 |
Set, for one transaction only to each master, when a field device is powered up |
Bit 4 |
More status available |
Use Command #48 to retrieve further information (see section 9.5) |
Bit 3 |
Analogue output fixed |
The device is in multidrop mode, or the output has been set at a fixed value for testing. This bit applies only to Analogue Output #1 3 |
Bit 2 |
Analogue output saturated |
The measurement (for Analogue Output #1) is out of range, or the actuator input current is out of range 2, 3 |
Bit 1 |
Non-primary variable out of limits |
As below, but for one or more other variables. There is no way to identify the specific variable (unless Command #48 gives further information) |
Bit 0 |
Primary variable out of limits |
The primary measurement is outside the sensor operating limits. So, not only is the analogue signal unreliable, but so is the digital value read by HART commands |
