8.5 Configure a Frequency Output
Use a Frequency Output to report current values of process variables. The frequency varies between 0 Hz and
12500 Hz in proportion to the current value of the assigned process variable. Maximum fault level is 14500 Hz.
8.5.1 Configure Frequency Output Source
Display Menu → Configuration → Inputs/Outputs → Channel B → I/O Type → Frequency Output
ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → I/O → Channels → Channel B → Frequency Output
Field communicator Device Settings → Inputs/Outputs → Channels → Channel B
Frequency Output Source specifies the process variable that is reported by the Frequency Output.
Prerequisites
• If you plan to configure the output to report volume flow, ensure that you have set Volume Flow Type as
desired: Liquid or Gas Standard Volume.
• If you plan to configure an output to report a concentration measurement process variable, ensure that
the concentration measurement application is configured so that the desired variable is available.
Procedure
Set Frequency Output Source as desired.
Postrequisites
If you change the configuration of Frequency Output Source, verify the Frequency Output scaling. The
transmitter automatically loads the most recent values for the scaling parameters, and they may not be
appropriate for your application.
