Overview
A basic event is used to provide notification of process changes. A basic event occurs (is
ON) if the real-time value of a user-specified process variable moves above (HI) or below
(LO) a user-defined setpoint. You can define up to two basic events. Event status can be
queried via digital communications, and a discrete output can be configured to report
event status.
Procedure
1.
Select the event that you want to configure.
2. Specify Event Type.
Options Description
HI
x > A
The event occurs when the value of the assigned process variable (x) is
greater than the setpoint (Setpoint A), endpoint not included.
LO
x < A
The event occurs when the value of the assigned process variable (x) is
less than the setpoint (Setpoint A), endpoint not included.
3. Assign a process variable to the event.
4.
Set a value for Setpoint A.
5. (Optional) Configure a discrete output to switch states in response to the event
status.

Overview
An enhanced event is used to provide notification of process changes and, optionally, to
perform specific transmitter actions if the event occurs. An enhanced event occurs (is ON)
if the real-time value of a user-specified process variable moves above (HI) or below (LO) a
user-defined setpoint, or in range (IN) or out of range (OUT) with respect to two user-
