Overview
Digital Communications Fault Actionspecifies the values that will be reported via digital
communications if the device encounters an internal fault condition.
Procedure
Set Digital Communications Fault Action as desired.
The default setting is None.
Restrictions
• If mA Output Fault Action or Frequency Output Fault Action is set to None, Digital
Communications Fault Action should also be set to None. If you do not, the output will not report
actual process data, and this may result in measurement errors or unintended consequences for
your process.
• If you set Digital Communications Fault Action to NAN, you cannot set mA Output Fault Action or
Frequency Output Fault Action to None. If you try to do this, the transmitter will not accept the
configuration.

Description
• Process variable values indicate that the val-
ue is greater than the upper sensor limit.
• Totalizers stop incrementing.
• Process variable values indicate that the val-
ue is lower than the lower sensor limit.
• Totalizers stop incrementing.
• Flow rate variables go to the value that rep-
resents a flow rate of 0 (zero).
• Density is reported as 0.
• Temperature is reported as 0 °C , or the
equivalent if other units are used (e.g.,
32 °F .
• Drive gain is reported as measured.
• Totalizers stop incrementing.
