6.5.4 Configuring the fault indicator and fault value
If the transmitter encounters an internal fault condition, it will indicate the fault by
sending a preprogrammed output level to the receiving device. You can specify the
output level by configuring the fault indicator. Options are shown in Table 6-9.
Note: By default, the transmitter immediately reports a fault when a fault is
encountered. You can delay reporting faults by changing the fault timeout. See
Section 8.12.
Example
Configuration:
• Primary mA output: Mass flow
• Frequency output: Mass flow
• AO cutoff for primary mA output: 15 g/sec
• Mass flow cutoff: 10 g/sec
As a result:
• If the mass flow rate drops below 15 g/sec but not below 10 g/sec:
•The primary mA output will report zero flow.
•The frequency output will report nonzero flow.
• If the mass flow rate drops below 10 g/sec, both outputs will report
zero flow.
Table 6-9 mA output fault indicators and values
Fault indicator Fault output value
Upscale 21–24 mA (default: 22 mA)
Downscale IS transmitters: 3.2–3.6 mA (default: 3.2 mA)
All other transmitters: 1.0–3.6 mA (default: 2.0 mA)
Internal zero The value associated with 0 (zero) flow, as determined by URV and LRV values
None Tracks data for the assigned process variable; no fault action
CAUTION
Setting the fault indicator to NONE may result in
process error due to undetected fault conditions.
To avoid undetected fault conditions when the fault
indicator is set to NONE, use some other mechanism
such as digital communication to monitor device status.
