3. Start the simulation.
4. Read the frequency signal at the receiving device and compare it to the transmitter output.
5. Choose New Value.
6. Set Simulation Value to 14500.
7. Start the simulation.
8. Read the frequency signal at the receiving device and compare it to the transmitter output.
9. Choose Exit.
16.19.3 Perform a Discrete Output test using the display
Prerequisites
Before performing a Discrete Output test, configure Channel B as a Discrete Output.
Follow appropriate procedures to ensure that testing will not interfere with existing measurement and control
loops.
Procedure
1. Choose Menu → Service Tools → Output Simulator and select the Discrete Output.
2. Set Simulation Value to ON.
3. Start the simulation.
4. Verify the signal at the receiving device.
5. Choose New Value.
6. Set Simulation Value to OFF.
7. Start the simulation.
8. Verify the signal at the receiving device.
9. Choose Exit.
Postrequisites
• If the Discrete Output readings are reversed, check the setting of Discrete Output Polarity.
• You must end the test. It will not time out by itself. A power cycle will also end the test.
16.19.4 Perform an mA loop test using ProLinkIII
Prerequisites
Before performing an mA loop test, configure Channel B as an mA Output.
Follow appropriate procedures to ensure that testing will not interfere with existing measurement and control
loops.
Procedure
1. Choose Device Tools → Diagnostics → Testing and select the mA Output test.
2. Enter 4 in Fix to:.
3. Select Fix mA.
4. Read the mA current at the receiving device and compare it to the transmitter output.
The readings do not need to match exactly. If the values are slightly different, you can correct the
discrepancy by trimming the output.
5. Enter 20 in Fix to:.
6. Select Fix mA.
