10.1 Configure Channel B
ProLink III Device Tools > Configuration > I/O > Channels
Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Inputs/Outputs > Channels > Channel B
Overview
Depending on your device, you can configure Channel B to operate as either an mA output
or a discrete output.
Restriction
You cannot configure Channel B on the following devices: SGM TPS or SGM Fixed. On these devices,
Channel B always operates as a TPS output.
Prerequisites
The configuration of Channel B must match the wiring. See the installation manual for your
device.
To avoid causing process errors:
• Configure Channel B before configuring the mA output or discrete output.
• Before changing the channel configuration, ensure that all control loops affected by
the channel are under manual control.
Procedure
Set Channel B as desired.
