Diagnostic funtions

Advanced transmitter technology with the new SITRANS P means:

Limit monitoring by means of an event counter.This reports how often, how long and how large the pressure overshoot was - but also whether an error signal was issued, which gives you an overview of what has happened in the process
The recording of measurement range violations using non-return values for minimum/maximum levels in the case of input pressure, sensor temperature and electronics temperature. These provide information about the state of the new SITRANS P, the process and the ambient temperature
The maintenance timer, that reports the calibration time in order to guarantee maximum precision on a continuous basis
A simulation function directly after the sensor which checks the transmitter electronics and the entire loop based on a defined value - in order to obtain important information: Are the transmitter electronics in order? At what pressure do the limits respond? Is the regulator circuit operating properly? Are all displays functioning?
If the transmitter issues an error signal from the electronics or measuring cell the defective part can simply be exchanged on site - without recalibration.
