Re: [foxboro] HART AOUT gives error in sysmon

What SW Ver are you running? We had similar problems with Foxcom using
Foxboro SRD991 positioners. No problem w/ver 8.2, it started with ver
8.3. We are running ver 8.2 on series 200 FBMs and 8.3 on series 100. I
was told the FBM series is not a factor. Foxboro is working on the
problem, but the fix is not out to my knowledge.

Subject: [foxboro] HART AOUT gives error in sysmon

Hello all,

I have a HART positioner used on an Hand Valve.  Basically the operator
sets its it and forgets it.  I'd like to forget it too, but the darn
thing is giving me an alarm in system monitor periodically every 20
minutes or so.  The problem is sysmon never shows anything wrong (except
putting an asterisk on the device and flashing the sysmon light).  I
check all three sysmon pages when I've acked the fault and I check when
it's unacked.  The sysmon info pages are identical.  If I ack the fault
sysmon light quits flashing red and goes green and the asterisk
disappears.  I can (and probably will) inhibit the alarm.  But that kind
of defeats all the swell HART info that I'm supposed to get.  Anyone
seen this before, if so how do I fix it.

Thanks,
David
