Maintenance - Siemens SITRANS FC430 Operating Instructions Manual

Process value simulation
The following process values can be simulated:
● Mass flow
● Volume flow
● Standard Volume flow
● Density
● Process Media Temperature
● Fraction A %
● Fraction B %
Enabling simulation for the process values sets the simulated value for all outputs.
Alarm simulation
It is possible to simulate either specific alarms (ID numbers) or alarm classes. The alarm
classes are either Siemens or NAMUR depending on the configuration of Alarm Mode, menu
item 2.8.11.
Any simulated alarms will be time-stamped 1900-01-01 00:00 if the alarms have not previously
appeared as real alarms. Any real alarms will be time-stamped with the actual date and time
of each alarm occurrence.
All alarms mentioned in Sensor diagnostic events (Page 203) can be simulated; except ID 51
(Malfunction in Pickup Amplitude) and ID 165 (Ref. density simulated).

alarms and configuration changes). The date and time can be set in menu item 2.7.2.
● Set To Default
The device can be reset to its default settings in menu item 3.11.1.
● Restart Device
The device can be restarted without disconnecting the power in menu item 3.11.2.
