Emerson Micro Motion 1600 - 8.5.4 Configure Frequency Output Fault Action; Options for Frequency Output Fault Action

Option Description
Both Positive and
Negative Flow
The Frequency Output reports the absolute value of the flow rate according to the
configured scaling method. It is not possible to distinguish between forward flow
and reverse flow from the Frequency Output alone. This setting is typically used in
combination with a discrete output configured to report flow direction.

Frequency Output Fault Action controls the behavior of the Frequency Output if the transmitter detects a fault
condition.
Important
• The fault action is implemented only if Alert Severity is set to Failure. If Alert Severity is set to any other
option, the fault action is not implemented.
• 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.
Procedure
1. Set Frequency Output Fault Action as desired.
Default: Downscale
Important
If you set Frequency Output Fault Action to None, the Frequency Output will be controlled by the
setting of Process Variable Fault Action. In most cases, if you set Frequency Output Fault Action to
None, you should also set Process Variable Fault Action to None.
2. If you set Frequency Output Fault Action to Upscale, set Frequency Fault Level to the desired value.
• Default: 14500 Hz
• Range: 10 Hz to 14500 Hz
