Not available
Response Time is used to apply a different algorithm to the calculation of process variables from the raw process data.
Restriction
Response Time is available only on systems with the enhanced core processor.
Procedure
Set Response Time as desired.
Option
Normal (Legacy)
Description
Transmitter calculates process variables at the standard speed. This option is selected if this parameter was configured on an earlier version of ProLink III software.
Special (Legacy) Transmitter calculates process variables at a faster speed. This option is selected if this parameter was configured on an earlier version of ProLink III software.
Normal - Optimal Filtering Transmitter calculates process variables at standard filtering and speed.
Transmitter calculates process variables at the fastest speed.
Low Filtering - Fastest
Response
High Filtering - Smoothest
Output
Service
Transmitter calculates process variables at the smoothest (least noisy) response to changes in the process.
For factory use only.
5.5 Configure alert handling
The alert handling parameters control the transmitter’s response to process and device conditions.
5.5.1 Configure Fault Timeout
Display

Field Communicator
Not available
Device Tools → Configuration → Fault Processing

Fault Timeout controls the delay before fault actions are performed.
Restriction
Fault Timeout is applied only to the following alerts (listed by Status Alert Code): A003, A004, A005, A008,
A016, A017, A033. For all other alerts, fault actions are performed as soon as the alert is detected.

Procedure
Set Fault Timeout as desired.
The default value is 0 seconds. The range is 0 to 60 seconds.
If you set Fault Timeout to 0, fault actions are performed as soon as the alert condition is detected.
The fault timeout period begins when the transmitter detects an alert condition. During the fault timeout period, the transmitter continues to report its last valid measurements.
If the fault timeout period expires while the alert is still active, the fault actions are performed. If the alert condition clears before the fault timeout expires, no fault actions are performed.
5.5.2 Configure Status Alert Severity
Display
ProLink III
Field Communicator
Not available
Device Tools → Configuration → Alert Severity
Configure → Alert Setup → Alert Severity → Set Alert Severity
Use Status Alert Severity to control the fault actions that the transmitter performs when it detects an alert condition.
Restriction
• For some alerts, Status Alert Severity is not configurable.
• For some alerts, Status Alert Severity can be set only to two of the three options.
Tip
Use the default settings for Status Alert Severity unless you have a specific requirement to change them.
Procedure
1. Select a status alert.
2. For the selected status alert, set Status Alert Severity as desired.
Option
Fault
Description
Actions when fault is detected:
• The alert is posted to the Alert List.
• Outputs go to the configured fault action (after Fault Timeout has expired, if applicable).
• Digital communications go to the configured fault action (after Fault Timeout has expired, if applicable).
• The status LED (if available) changes to red or yellow (depending on alert severity).
Actions when alert clears:
• Outputs return to normal behavior.
• Digital communications return to normal behavior.
• The status LED (if available) returns to green and may or may not flash.
