[foxboro] Diagnostics with FBM214 (was: Diagnostics via FBM223)

Anyone tried this sort of thing with HART transmitters and the HART FBMs? 
I have an application where some failure modes will be "normal", and 
others I need to do something about.  I was looking at the standard PNT_NO 
entries for a FBM214, but nothing really jumped out at me.  All I saw was 
some generic failure codes with CHILD_ECB.DDIAGx, but those often include 
failures on the I/A side.

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for but here goes. According
to B0400FE Rev. B Diagnostic data can be returned to a DCI block by using 
D
as the data type in the secret code. ie. 0D3 will return 3 bytes at offset 
0
from the diagnostic stream.=20

I am using this diagnostic data to monitor the status of some device net
gateways that we have on a profibus segment. The data available will 
depend
on the device, and you may have to dig through the gsd file to determine
where the data is located in the diagnostic stream. In our case, I use the
data to determine what is going on with the device net side of the 
gateway,
as well as the status of individual slaves on the device net. With this 
data
and some logic I am able to indicate to operations when one of the slaves
goes offline or there is a general failure on the device net.
