Postrequisites
CAUTION!
If you set mA Output Fault Action or Frequency Output Fault Action to None, be sure to set
Digital Communications Fault Action 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.

Configure the Frequency Output

The Frequency Output is used to report a process variable. The Frequency Output
parameters control how the process variable is reported. Your transmitter may have zero
or one Frequency Output: Channel B can be configured as a Frequency Output or a
Discrete Output. The default assignment for Channel B is Frequency Output.
Configuration and Use Manual
Set mA Output Fault Action to the desired value.
The default setting is Downscale.
Restriction
If Digital Communications Fault Action is set to NAN (not a number), 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.
If you set mA Output Fault Action to Upscale or Downscale, set mA Output Fault Level
as desired.
mA Output behavior
Goes to the configured fault level
Goes to the configured fault level
Goes to the mA Output level associated
with a process variable value of 0 (zero),
as determined by Lower Range Value and
Upper Range Value settings
Tracks data for the assigned process vari-
able; no fault action
Integrate the meter with the control system
