4.3.5: Error Signal (F = 3.6 mA)
Current value of the error signal
Value
In the event of a fault the device applies the current defined here to the analog output.
When the Hold... values are selected, the device outputs the last valid value until the
appropriate time has run out or the fault has been eliminated. If the fault persists after the
set time runs out, the analog output switches to an error signal of 3.6 mA.
A fault is different from a loss of echo which indicates a failsafe condition. A
Note:
fault indicates an error with internal electronics, hardware, or software.
4.4 Digital Output
4.4.1: Function DO (F = Alarm)
Assignment of the digital output
Value
Here you can select whether the digital output supplies the upper or lower limit value of
level or volume or an alarm (device error, measurement error; see Parameter 3. 1 ) to the
control system. If you select the
Selection of a limit value enables Parameter 4.4.4. If you select Alarm or No function in
this parameter, Parameter 4.4.4 will not be visible.
The value of Parameter 4.4.4 is determined by the MaxLim or MinLim selection
Note:
chosen in 4.4.1 (Function DO).
