Rosemount 3490 Series
Digital Inputs IN1 and IN2 Digital inputs IN1 and IN2 can be individually set-up to perform an action
whenever they are activated.
NOTE:
Digital input status icons are shown on the left-hand side of the Primary
Display: o = inactive or = active.
In addition, parameter D835 shows the status of the inputs: active (1) or
inactive (0). First digit represents IN1.
How to allocate an action to IN1 or IN2:
1. Navigate to:
MAIN MENU / SETUP / [CONTROL UNIT /] DIGITAL INPUT
2. Select a 'Digital Input' menu: Action, Delay or On-State.
3. Allocate a function by editing the Action Select parameter P340 (for IN1)
or P345 (for IN2).
Table 4-10 lists all the options and explains their purpose
4. If you require a delay before an action is performed, edit the Delay
parameter P341 (for IN1) or P346 (for IN2).
The parameter value format is m:s (minutes and seconds).
5. To change the logic of the input for triggering an action, edit the On State
parameter P342 (IN1) or P347 (IN2).
Options are "Closed" (active when voltage-free contact is closed: default
setting) and "Open" (active when open).
