8.6 Configuring events
An event occurs if the real-time value of a user-specified process variable varies above or below a
user-specified value, or inside or outside a user-specified range. You can configure up to five events.
You may optionally specify one or more actions that will occur if the event occurs. For example, if
Event 1 occurs, you may specify that the transmitter will stop all totalizers and inventories and reset
the mass totalizer.
8.6.1 Defining events
To define an event:
• Using ProLink II, see Figure C-3.
• Using a PROFIBUS host with the EDD, see Figure C-9.
• Using PROFIBUS bus parameters, use the Diagnostic block (see Table D-4).
The following general steps are required:
1. Select the event to define (Diagnostic block, Index 4).
2. Specify the Event Type (Diagnostic block, Index 5). Event Type options are defined in
Table 8-5.
3. Assign a process variable to the event (Diagnostic block, Index 8).
