HART devices and the DeltaV System > HART error conditions for Classic I/O

Effect of HART error conditions on function block status (Classic I/O)

This section lists the status returned to HART function block parameters based on the HART error conditions. For ease of use, the information is presented in tables organized around the channel types to which the parameters apply (three tables showing parameters that apply to both AI and AO channels, AO only, and AI only).

This table lists the HART parameters that apply to both AI and AO channels (HART_PV, HART_SV, HART_TV, HART_FV) and the status returned to a function block based on the HART Error conditions shown. The error conditions are processed in the order shown in the table.
