Overview
Discrete Output Fault Action controls the behavior of the discrete output if the transmitter
encounters an internal fault condition.
Note
For some faults only: If Last Measured Value Timeout is set to a non-zero value, the transmitter will not
implement the fault action until the timeout has elapsed.
CAUTION!
Do not use Discrete Output Fault Action as a fault indicator. If you do, you may not be able to
distinguish a fault condition from a normal operating condition. If you want to use the discrete
output as a fault indicator, see Fault indication with the discrete output.
Procedure
Set Discrete Output Fault Action as desired.
The default setting is None.

Upscale
• Fault: discrete output is ON
(site-specific voltage)
• No fault: discrete output is con-
trolled by its assignment
• Fault: discrete output is OFF
(0 V)
• No fault: discrete output is con-
trolled by its assignment
Downscale
• Fault: discrete output is OFF
(0 V)
• No fault: discrete output is con-
trolled by its assignment
• Fault: discrete output is ON
(site-specific voltage)
• No fault: discrete output is con-
trolled by its assignment
None (default) Discrete output is controlled by its assignment
Fault indication with the discrete output
To indicate faults via the discrete output, set parameters as follows:
• Discrete Output Source = Fault
• Discrete Output Fault Action = None
