528 Diagnostics and servicingVEGAFLEX 86 • Modbus51519-EN-180508The echo curves are stored with date and time and the correspondingecho data. The memory is divided into two sections:Echo curve of the setup: This is used as reference echo curve forthe measurement conditions during setup. Changes in the measure-ment conditions during operation or buildup on the sensor can thusbe recognized. The echo curve of the setup is stored via:• PC with PACTware/DTM• Control system with EDD• Display and adjustment moduleFurther echo curves: Up to 10 echo curves can be stored in a ringbuffer in this memory section. Additional echo curves are stored via:• PC with PACTware/DTM• Control system with EDD• Display and adjustment module8.3 Status messagesThe instrument features self-monitoring and diagnostics according toNE 107 and VDI/VDE 2650. In addition to the status messages in thefollowing tables, detailed error messages are available under menuitem "Diagnostics" via the display and adjustment module, PACTware/DTM and EDD.The status messages are divided into the following categories:• Failure• Function check• Out of specification• Maintenance requirementand explained by pictographs:41 2 3Fig. 19: Pictographs of the status messages1 Failure - red2 Out of specification - yellow3 Function check - orange4 Maintenance - blueFailure: Due to a malfunction in the instrument, a fault message isoutputted.This status message is always active. It cannot be deactivated by theuser.Function check: The instrument is being worked on, the measuredvalue is temporarily invalid (for example during simulation).This status message is inactive by default.
