7.6 Viewing transmitter status
You can view transmitter status using the status LED, ProLink II, a PROFIBUS host using the EDD,
or PROFIBUS bus parameters. Depending on the method chosen, different information is displayed.
7.6.1 Using the status LED
The status LED shows transmitter status as described in Table 7-3. Note that the status LED does not
report event status or alarm status for alarms with severity level set to Ignore (see Section 8.8).
7.6.2 Using ProLink II
ProLink II provides a Status window that displays:
• Device (alarm) status
•Event status
• Assorted other transmitter data
7.6.3 Using a PROFIBUS host and the EDD
Status information is located in the View menu (see Figure C-5) and the Device menu (see Figures
C-6 and C-7). The View menu displays alarm status. The Device menu displays:
•Alarm status
•Event status
• Meter and core processor diagnostics
7.6.4 Using PROFIBUS bus parameters
Status information is located in the Diagnostic block (see Table D-4).
