B-1-1 Field Diagnostics (NE 107) on
FOUNDATION Fieldbus Devices
NAMUR NE 107 is a standard for self-diagnosing field devices. It yields reliable results,
categorizes alarms into four standardized statuses and outputs corresponding signals,
allows users to configure diagnostics, and provides detailed information for experts.
To perform and confirm the settings of transmitters in accordance with NE 107 more
easily, FieldMate incorporates a field diagnostics function, Field Diagnostics.
Figure B-1-1 shows the flow of alarm information and corresponding displays which are
specified as field diagnostics (NE 107) on FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices.
