Your transmitter uses Channels A and B to support the control system and communications. Channel B is
configurable.
Depending on your purchase order, some channels may not be activated on your device. To see which
channels are activated:
• Using the display: Menu > About > Licenses
• Using ProLink: Device Information
• Using the Field Communicator: Overview > Device Information > Licenses > Permanent Feature Set >
Input/Output Channels
To activate additional channels, contact customer service.
Important
The channel configuration must match the I/O wiring.
Prerequisites
Plan your channel assignments before configuring channels. Not all combinations are supported. For
example:
• You cannot have two discrete outputs and a frequency output.
For details, see Channel combinations.
Important
To avoid causing process errors:
• Configure the channels before configuring the outputs.
• Before changing the channel configuration, ensure that all control loops affected by the channel are under
manual control.
Procedure
1. Identify the channels that are activated on your device.
2. For Channel B, if activated, set Channel Type as desired.
