TX DELAY 
1 to 500 milliseconds 
TX DELAY—Configurable response-delay timer 
allows you to force the instrument to delay its 
response for a time period of from 1 to 500 
milliseconds compatible with the host system 
hardware/software.

SHED ENAB 
DISABLE 
ENABLE 
SHED ENABLE—Disables/enables shed 
functionaliy.  Applies to Modbus protocol only. 
SHEDTIME 
0 to 255 
SHED TIME—The number that represents how 
many sample periods there will be before the 
controller sheds from communications. Each period 
equals 1/3 seconds; 0 equals No shed.  
Note: If ComSTATE is set to MODBUS or MB3K and 
if SHEDENAB is set to DISABL, Shed Time will not 
be configurable. 
SHEDMODE 
 
 
SHED CONTROLLER MODE AND OUTPUT 
LEVEL—Determines the mode of local control you 
want when the controller is shed from the 
communications link. 
 
LAST 
LAST—SAME MODE AND OUTPUT—The 
controller will return to the same mode (manual or 
automatic) at the same output level that it had before 
shed. 
 
TO MAN 
TO MAN—MANUAL MODE, SAME OUTPUT—The 
controller will return to manual mode at the same 
output level that it had before shed. 
 
FSAFE 
FSAFE—MANUAL MODE, FAILSAFE OUTPUT—
The controller will return to manual mode at the 
output value selected at Control prompt FAILSAFE. 
 
TO AUTO 
TO AUTO—AUTOMATIC MODE, LAST SP—The 
controller will return to the automatic mode and the 
last setpoint used before shed.
