Configure Events - Emerson Micro Motion 1700 Configuration And Use Manual

Note
For some faults only: If Fault Timeout is set to a non-zero value, the transmitter will not implement
the fault action until the timeout has elapsed.
CAUTION!
Do not use Discrete Output Fault Action as a fault indicator. If you do, you may not be able to
distinguish a fault condition from a normal operating condition. If you want to use the Discrete
Output as a fault indicator, set Discrete Output Source to Fault and set Discrete Output Fault
Action to None.
Procedure
Set Discrete Output Fault Action as desired.
The default setting is None.

Fault indication with the Discrete Output
To indicate faults via the Discrete Output, set Discrete Output Source to Fault. Then, if a
fault occurs, the Discrete Output is always ON and the setting of Discrete Output Fault
Action is ignored.

Configure events

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:

Discrete Output behavior
• Fault: Discrete Output is ON (site-specific voltage)
• No fault: Discrete Output is controlled by its assign-
ment
• Fault: Discrete Output is OFF (0 V)
• No fault: Discrete Output is controlled by its assign-
ment
Discrete Output is controlled by its assignment
