Emerson MICRO MOTION 1500 - Configure the Discrete Output; Configure Discrete Output Source

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.
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.
6.4 Configure the Discrete Output
The Discrete Output is used to report specific meter or process conditions. The Discrete
Output parameters control which condition is reported and how it is reported.
Restriction
Before you can configure the Discrete Output, you must configure a channel to operate as a Discrete
Output.
Important
Whenever you change a Discrete Output parameter, verify all other Discrete Output parameters
before returning the meter to service. In some situations, the transmitter automatically loads a set of
stored values, and these values may not be appropriate for your application.
