4.11  Auxiliary Output Set Up Group 
Introduction 
This provides a milliampere output representing any of twelve control parameters: Input 1-2, PV 1-2, 
Deviation 1-2, Output 1-2, Setpoint 1-2.  The display for auxiliary Output viewing will be in engineering 
units for all but output.  Output will be designated in percent (%). 
Timer group prompts 
Table 4-11 lists all the function prompts in the Auxiliary Output setup group and their definitions.

Upper Display 
Range of Setting or Selection 
AUXILIARY OUTPUT SELECTION provides an mA 
output representing any of twelve control parameters. 
The display for Auxiliary Output viewing will be in 
engineering units for all but output. Output will be 
designated in percent (%). 
  Other prompts affected by these selections: 
“4 mA VAL” and “20mA VAL”. 
INPUT 1—This represents the configured range of input 
1. FOR EXAMPLE: 
  Type “J” Thermocouple (0 to 1600°F) 
  0°F display = 0% output 
  1600°F display = 100% output 
INPUT 2—This represents the value of the configured 
range of input 2. 
PROCESS VARIABLE 1—Represents the value of the 
Process Variable for Loop 1. PV = Input 1 + Bias 
DEVIATION 1 (PROCESS VARIABLE MINUS 
SETPOINT)—Represents –100 to +100% of the 
selected PV span in engineering units for Loop 1. 
FOR EXAMPLE: 
  Type “T” Thermocouple 
    PV range  =  –300 to +700°F 
    PV span  =  1000°F 
    Deviation range  =  –1000 to +1000°F 
    If PV  =  500°F 
    and SP  =  650°F 
    then Deviation Display  =  –150°F 
    Auxiliary Output  =  42.5% 
NOTE: A deviation of 0°F yields an auxiliary output of 
50%. 
OUTPUT 1—Represents the displayed controller output 
in percent (%) for Loop 1.
