Important
This table assumes that
Discrete Output Polarity
is set to Active High. If
Discrete Output Polarity
is set to
Active Low, reverse the voltage values.

DO Polarity
Discrete outputs have two states: ON (active) and OFF (inactive). Two different voltage levels are used to
represent these states.
Discrete Output Polarity
controls which voltage level represents which state.
Procedure
Set
Discrete Output Polarity
as desired.
The default setting is Active High.
Options for Discrete Output Polarity
Polarity
Description
Active High
•
When asserted (condition tied to DO is true), the circuit draws as
much current as it can, up to a maximum of 10 mA.
•
When not asserted (condition tied to DO is false), the circuit draws
less than 1 mA.
Active Low
•
When asserted (condition tied to DO is true), the circuit draws less
than 1 mA.
•
When not asserted (condition tied to DO is false), the circuit draws
as much current as it can, up to a maximum of 10 mA.

DO Fault Action
Discrete Output Fault Action
controls the behavior of the Discrete 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.
CAUTION
Do not use
Discrete Output Fault Action
as a fault indicator. If you do, you may not be able to distinguish a
fault condition from a normal operating condition. If you want to use the Discrete Output as a fault
indicator, set
Discrete Output Source
to Fault and set
Discrete Output Fault Action
to None.
