74 Micro Motion ® Model 2400S Transmitters for DeviceNet ™
Optional Configuration
To configure digital communications fault action:
• Using ProLink II, see Figure B-2.
• Using a DeviceNet tool, see Table C-7.
Note: This functionality is not available via the display menus.
8.10.8 Fault timeout
By default, the transmitter activates the digital communications fault action as soon as the fault is
detected. The fault timeout allows you to delay the digital communications fault action for a specified
interval, for certain faults only. During the fault timeout period, digital communications behaves
normally.
Note: The fault timeout applies only to the digital communications fault action. The “alarm active”
status bit is set as soon as the fault is detected (all alarm severity levels), and the “alarm active”
record is written to history immediately (Fault and Informational alarms only). For more information
on alarm handling, see Section 7.6. For more information on alarm severity, see Section 8.8.
The fault timeout applies only to specific faults. Other faults are reported immediately, regardless of
the fault timeout setting. For information on which faults are affected by the fault timeout, see
Table 8-8.
To configure fault timeout:
• Using ProLink II, see Figure B-2.
• Using a DeviceNet tool, see Table C-7.
Note: This functionality is not available via the display menus.
8.11 Configuring device settings
The device settings are used to describe the flowmeter components. Table 8-13 lists and defines the
