D Channel combinations
D.1 Rules for channel combinations
Use these rules to determine what channel types and channel combinations are valid on the transmitter.
Table D-1: Rules for channel combinations
Rule number Rule
1 Channel A is always mA Output 1.
2 Channel E is always RS-485.
3 Channel B can be mA Output 2, Frequency Output 2, or Discrete Output 1.
4 Channel C can be mA Output 3, Frequency Output 1, Discrete Output 2, or Discrete Input 1.
5 Channel D can be mA Input, Frequency Output 2, Discrete Output 3, Discrete Input 2, or
Frequency Input.
6 Both Channel B and Channel D can be configured as Frequency Output 2.
D.2 Valid combinations for channel configuration
The following table shows all valid combinations for channel configuration. Depending on your purchase
order, some channels may not be activated on your device.
