– Display: "ERROR" display and ticker with an error text
– Analog output: Factory setting: Failure current 3.6 or 22.8 mA
Or depending on the parameterization
– HART: detailed error breakdown for display in the HART communicator or SIMATIC PDM
● Grave hardware faults, the processor is not functioning.
Displays:
– Display: no defined display
– Analog output: failure current < 3.6 mA
In the event of a defect, you can replace the application electronics by following the warning notes and the provided
