Micro Motion CDM100M, Configuration And Use Manual

Overview
mA Output Fault Action controls the behavior of the mA output if the transmitter encounters
an internal fault condition.
Note
For some faults only: If Fault Timeout is set to a non-zero value, the transmitter will not implement the
fault action until the timeout has elapsed.
Procedure
1. Set
mA Output Fault Action
to the desired value.
The default setting is Downscale .
Restriction
If
Digital Communications Fault Action
is set to
NAN
(not a number), you cannot set
mA Output Fault
Action to None . If you try to do this, the device will not accept the configuration.
2. If you set
mA Output Fault Action
to
Upscale
or
Downscale
, set
mA Output Fault Level
as
desired.
Postrequisites
CAUTION!
If you set
mA Output Fault Action
to
None
, be sure to set
Digital Communications Fault Action
to
None
. If you
do not, the output will not report actual process data, and this may result in measurement
errors or unintended consequences for your process.
Options for mA Output Fault Action and mA Output Fault Level
Options for mA Output Fault Action and mA Output Fault Level Table 6-3:
Option mA output behavior
mA Output Fault Level
Upscale Goes to the configured fault level Default: 21.5 mA
Range: 21.0 to 21.5 mA
Downscale
(default) Goes to the configured fault level Default: 3.2 mA
Range: 3.2 to 3.6 mA
Internal Zero
Goes to the mA output level associated
with a process variable value of 0 (zero),
as determined by
Lower Range Value
and
Upper Range Value
settings
Not applicable
None Tracks data for the assigned process vari-
able; no fault action Not applicable
Integrate the meter with the control system
