8.3
Configuring the discrete outputs
You can configure one, two, or three discrete outputs. For each discrete output, you will configure:
Polarity
Assignment
Fault indication
Discrete outputs can be connected to factory-supplied or user-supplied relays. For relay installation 
instructions, see Appendix D. For specifications of the Model 3100 relay supplied by Micro Motion, 
see Appendix C.
8.3.1
Polarity
The discrete outputs generate two voltage levels to represent ON or OFF states. The voltage levels 
depend on the output’s polarity, as shown in Table 8-1
Figure 8-2 shows a diagram of a typical 
discrete output circuit.

Description
Active high
• The circuit provides a pull-up to 24 V when asserted (when condition tied 
to DO is true).
• The circuit provides 0 V when not asserted (when condition tied to the DO 
is false).
Active low
• The circuit provides 0 V when asserted (when condition tied to DO is 
true).
• The circuit provides a pull-up to 24 V when not asserted (when condition 
tied to the DO is false).
