Tag Definitions Appendix A

CurrentFault

BOOL

Decimal

Analog current measurement does not match the current the field device reported over
the HART network.

ConfigurationChanged

BOOL

Decimal

The field device configuration has changed and new field device configuration information can be
obtained from the 1756-OF8H module via CIP MSG GetDeviceInfo, which will clear this bit.

BrokenWire

BOOL

Decimal

Indicates that current is not flowing through the module as expected. This might be caused by
broken wiring, RTB removal, or a powered-off field device.

HARTFault

BOOL

Decimal

Indicates a problem with HART data from the field device on Channel x.
Examples are HART not enabled, HART device not connected, HART communication failure
due to noise.
The following field device status conditions also cause this to be set: Device Malfunction,
PV Out of Limits, Loop Current Saturated, and Loop Current Fixed.

ResponseCode

SINT

Binary

HART communication status byte or Response code from a recent HART reply. See

Response Code

and Field Device Status on page 195

for more information.

FieldDeviceStatus

SINT

Binary

HART device status byte from a recent HART reply. Indicates the health of the HART field device.
See

Field Device Status Bit Mask Definitions on page 196

for more information.

PVOutOfLimits

BOOL

Decimal

The primary variable is beyond its operating limit.

VariableOutOfLimits

BOOL

Decimal

A device variable not mapped to the PV is beyond its operating limits.

CurrentSaturated

BOOL

Decimal

The loop current has reached its upper or lower endpoint limit and cannot increase or decrease
any further.

CurrentFixed

BOOL

Decimal

The loop current is being held at a fixed value and is not responding to process variations.

MoreStatus

BOOL

Decimal

More status information is available via command 48, ‘Read Additional Status’ information.

ColdStart

BOOL

Decimal

A power failure or device reset occurred.

Changed

BOOL

Decimal

An operation was performed that changed the device’s configuration.

Malfunction

BOOL

Decimal

The device detected a serious error or failure that compromises device operation.

ChStatus

SINT

Binary

Indicates various alarms on the analog signal. Also sets ChFault for Overrange, Underrange, and
CalFault.

HLimitAlarm

BOOL

Decimal

Ch0.DeviceStatus.ChStatus:0 The analog output signal is being limited by the ChConfig.HighLimit
value. If ChConfig.LimitAlarmLatch is 1, alarm is retained until explicitly reset.

LLimitAlarm

BOOL

Decimal

Ch0.DeviceStatus.ChStatus:1 The analog output signal is being limited by the ChConfig.LowLimit
value. If ChConfig.LimitAlarmLatch is 1, alarm is retained until explicitly reset.

RampAlarm

BOOL

Decimal

ChStatus:2 Rate of change in Ch0.Data exceeds Ch0Config.MaxRampRate. Rate of change is
determined by the change in Ch0.Data divided by the RPI period. Thus if a step change in Ch0.Data
cannot be reached via the configured Ch0Config.MaxRampRate within one RPI, then
Ch0.DeviceStatusRampAlarm is set to 1. If Ch0Config.RampAlarmLatch is 1, then
Ch0.DeviceStatusRampAlarm remains set until explicitly reset by using CIP message even if the
condition returns to normal. The CIP message can be sent via MSG instruction in the Logix
controller or from the RSLogix 5000 Module Properties Limit dialog box.

InHold

BOOL

Decimal

ChStatus:3 Channel holding its last output value, waiting for controller to match the value,
indicating that bumpless initialization of the control loop is complete.

CalFault

BOOL

Decimal

ChStatus:4 Fault during calibration of channel 0.

NotANumber

BOOL

Decimal

ChStatus:5
Ch0.Data is not a valid floating point number.

OpenWire

BOOL

Decimal

ChStatus:7 Only valid in current mode (example 4…20 mA). 1 indicates no current is flowing,
probably due to open circuit.

ExtDeviceStatus

SINT

Binary

Extended device status byte.

Maintenance
Required

BOOL

Decimal

Maintenance is needed.

DeviceVariableAlert

BOOL

Decimal

Device variable alert.
