Short-circuit test This test creates short duration OFF pulses on
the sensor power supplies. Input circuits pow-
ered by Vs1 and Vs2 are expected to be OFF
during the sensor OFF time. Failure to detect
OFF when a sensor supply is OFF indicates a
short-circuit to a power source or another fault
that prevents the input from properly detecting
a "0". Input channels which fail this test are
passivated.
During the test, the reported process value will
not change, so the configured "Duration of
short-circuit test" increases the response time.
An actual process "0" occuring near the begin-
ning of a test will not be reported to the user
program until after the "Duration of short-circuit
test" time has elapsed.

Interval for short-circuit
test (see T_int in figure
below)
This value is the time between the OFF pulses
of the sensor supply.
Refer to the figure below for further information.
Note: The interval must be a minimum of eight
times the duration.

Duration of short-circuit
test (see T_dur in figure
below)
This value is the time that the power supply
remains off during the test. The short-circuit
test OFF pulse must be long enough for the
external sensors and wiring to respond and
present a "0" to the inputs.
