We are also experiencing a similar issue. We have recently installed a
significant number of Hart FBM's Input's and Outputs (214B's, 215's and 244's).
We have seen the issue on inputs as well as outputs, although the outputs are
more attention getting. From what we have diagnosed when the issue arises we
are getting SMON entry " malfunction retry count exceeded". We are running the
latest firmware 2.47C. From the testing we have done, we believe the issue is
being caused when the system detects a field device malfunction on the Hart
which then causes the primary variable on the ROUT/RIN 4-20 to fail/hold. The
AOUT does not hold / fail. Once the Hart malfunction resolves, the 4-20
start's functioning again (now there is a big bump). The only fix we have been
successful at is to turn off the Hart for the FBM Channel in the ECB (DVOPTS),
essentially turning it into a 4-20 only.

Hi
In my previous mail I had mentioned that Hart Modules problem not repeated
after firmware upgradation but today one Hart module hanged. So anybody can
suggest about cause.

Thanks, were you able to prove it was fixed with firmware?

Anyone else seen anything like this before? This actually has us
very concerned.
Thanks in advance,
