The following table summarizes the evidence and action needed when the various classes of errors (fatal and non-fatal) occur in simplex and redundant CSLSs. The table shows the state of alarm and diagnostic parameters approximately five minutes after the error is detected.
| Error Type | Simplex CSLS | Redundant CSLS | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evidence | Action | Evidence | Action | |
|
Non-Fatal, |
Inact-Unack alarm |
Acknowledge the alarm(s). Check Event Chronicle records to determine error condition. Record error occurrence; report to Emerson if there is a repeat occurrence. |
(error on active and /or standby CSLS unit) Inact-Unack alarm |
Acknowledge the alarm(s). Check Event Chronicle records to determine error condition and affected CSLS unit(s). Record error occurrence; report to Emerson if there is a repeat occurrence. |
|
Non-Fatal, |
Act-Unack alarm |
Acknowledge the alarm(s). Check _ALERTS parameter associated with alarm to determine error condition. Report error to Emerson. |
(error on active and /or standby CSLS unit) Act-Unack alarm |
Acknowledge the alarm(s). Check _ALERTS parameter associated with alarm to determine error condition. Check _STATUS parameters on both CSLS units to determine affected one. Report error to Emerson. |
|
Fatal, |
Inact-Unack |
Acknowledge the alarm. Restart the process at the appropriate time. Check PAST_ERROR on card to determine error condition. Report error to Emerson. |
(error on standby CSLS unit) Inact-Unack |
Acknowledge the alarm. Check PAST_ERROR on Standby unit to determine error condition. Report error to Emerson. |
|
(error on active CSLS with faulty standby) Inact-Unack Act-Unack |
Acknowledge the alarms. Check PAST_ERROR on active unit to determine error condition. Report error to Emerson |
|||
|
Fatal, |
Inact-Unack
DIAG_STATUS on CSLS includes Persistent Fatal Error After Powerup. |
Acknowledge the alarm(s). Check PAST_ERROR on CSLS to determine error condition. Do a manual reset of the unit, replace CSLS if necessary. Report error to Emerson. |
(error on standby CSLS unit) Act-Unack DIAG_STATUS on Standby CSLS includes Persistent Fatal Error After Powerup. |
Acknowledge the alarm(s). Check PAST_ERROR on Standby CSLS to determine error condition. Do a manual reset of Standby unit; replace standby CSLS if necessary. Report error to Emerson. |
|
(error on active CSLS with faulty standby) Inact-Unack Act-Unack Act-Unack DIAG_STATUS on active CSLS includes Persistent Fatal Error After Powerup. |
Acknowledge the alarm(s). Check PAST_ERROR on both CSLS units to determine error conditions. Do a manual reset of both CSLS units; replace both units if necessary. Report error to Emerson |
