Overview
Discrete Output Fault Action controls the behavior of the Discrete Output if the
transmitter encounters an internal fault condition.
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.

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)
