Options for Discrete Output Fault Action

Polarity=Active High

Polarity=Active Low

None

 (default)

Discrete output is controlled by its assignment

To indicate faults via the discrete output, set parameters as follows:

•

Discrete Output Source

 = Fault

•

Discrete Output Fault Action

 = None

If Discrete Output Source is set to Fault and a fault occurs, the discrete output is always ON. The setting
of Discrete Output Fault Action is ignored.

An event occurs when the real-time value of a user-specified process variable moves past a
user-defined setpoint. Events are used to provide notification of process changes or to
perform specific transmitter actions if a process change occurs.

Your transmitter supports two event models:

•

Basic event model

•

Enhanced event model

A basic event is used to provide notification of process changes. A basic event occurs (is
ON) if the real-time value of a user-specified process variable moves above (HI) or below
(LO) a user-defined setpoint. You can define up to two basic events. Event status can be
queried via digital communications, and a discrete output can be configured to report
event status.
