8.6 Configure a Discrete Output
Use a Discrete Output to report specific meter or process conditions.
8.6.1 Configure Discrete Output Source
Display Menu → Configuration → Inputs/Outputs → Channel B → I/O Settings → Source
ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → I/O → Channels → Channel B → Discrete Output
Field communicator Device Settings → Inputs/Outputs → Mapping Source → Output Source → DO x Source
Discrete Output Source specifies the process condition or device condition that is reported by a Discrete
Output.
Procedure
Set Discrete Output Source to the desired option.
Default: Forward/Reverse
Postrequisites
