NAMUR Fault Indication
NAMUR NE43 is a German fault detection standard that lets the user know if there is a fault within the instrument by forcing the 4-20 mA
output current outside the normal operating range of the instrument.
The NAMUR is turned on or off with the ST100 configuration software application only. The HMI cannot access NAMUR.
