Tag Definitions Appendix A
CurrentFault
BOOL
Decimal
Analog current measurement does not match the current the field device reported over
the HART network.
ConfigurationChanged
BOOL
Decimal
The field device configuration has changed and new field device configuration information can be
obtained from the 1756-OF8H module via CIP MSG GetDeviceInfo, which will clear this bit.
BrokenWire
BOOL
Decimal
Indicates that current is not flowing through the module as expected. This might be caused by
broken wiring, RTB removal, or a powered-off field device.
HARTFault
BOOL
Decimal
Indicates a problem with HART data from the field device on Channel x.
Examples are HART not enabled, HART device not connected, HART communication failure
due to noise.
The following field device status conditions also cause this to be set: Device Malfunction,
PV Out of Limits, Loop Current Saturated, and Loop Current Fixed.
ResponseCode
SINT
Binary
HART communication status byte or Response code from a recent HART reply. See
and Field Device Status on page 195
for more information.
FieldDeviceStatus
SINT
Binary
HART device status byte from a recent HART reply. Indicates the health of the HART field device.
See
Field Device Status Bit Mask Definitions on page 196
for more information.
PVOutOfLimits
BOOL
Decimal
The primary variable is beyond its operating limit.
VariableOutOfLimits
BOOL
Decimal
A device variable not mapped to the PV is beyond its operating limits.
CurrentSaturated
BOOL
Decimal
The loop current has reached its upper or lower endpoint limit and cannot increase or decrease
any further.
CurrentFixed
BOOL
Decimal
The loop current is being held at a fixed value and is not responding to process variations.
MoreStatus
BOOL
Decimal
More status information is available via command 48, ‘Read Additional Status’ information.
ColdStart
BOOL
Decimal
A power failure or device reset occurred.
Changed
BOOL
Decimal
An operation was performed that changed the device’s configuration.
Malfunction
BOOL
Decimal
The device detected a serious error or failure that compromises device operation.
ChStatus
SINT
Binary
Indicates various alarms on the analog signal. Also sets ChFault for Overrange, Underrange, and
CalFault.
HLimitAlarm
BOOL
Decimal
Ch0.DeviceStatus.ChStatus:0 The analog output signal is being limited by the ChConfig.HighLimit
value. If ChConfig.LimitAlarmLatch is 1, alarm is retained until explicitly reset.
LLimitAlarm
BOOL
Decimal
Ch0.DeviceStatus.ChStatus:1 The analog output signal is being limited by the ChConfig.LowLimit
value. If ChConfig.LimitAlarmLatch is 1, alarm is retained until explicitly reset.
RampAlarm
BOOL
Decimal
ChStatus:2 Rate of change in Ch0.Data exceeds Ch0Config.MaxRampRate. Rate of change is
determined by the change in Ch0.Data divided by the RPI period. Thus if a step change in Ch0.Data
cannot be reached via the configured Ch0Config.MaxRampRate within one RPI, then
Ch0.DeviceStatusRampAlarm is set to 1. If Ch0Config.RampAlarmLatch is 1, then
Ch0.DeviceStatusRampAlarm remains set until explicitly reset by using CIP message even if the
condition returns to normal. The CIP message can be sent via MSG instruction in the Logix
controller or from the RSLogix 5000 Module Properties Limit dialog box.
InHold
BOOL
Decimal
ChStatus:3 Channel holding its last output value, waiting for controller to match the value,
indicating that bumpless initialization of the control loop is complete.
CalFault
BOOL
Decimal
ChStatus:4 Fault during calibration of channel 0.
NotANumber
BOOL
Decimal
ChStatus:5
Ch0.Data is not a valid floating point number.
OpenWire
BOOL
Decimal
ChStatus:7 Only valid in current mode (example 4…20 mA). 1 indicates no current is flowing,
probably due to open circuit.
ExtDeviceStatus
SINT
Binary
Extended device status byte.
Maintenance
Required
BOOL
Decimal
Maintenance is needed.
DeviceVariableAlert
BOOL
Decimal
Device variable alert.
