Output Error Modes
When communications are lost between the splitter box and the fieldbus master, the
box’s output channels go to a predefined state known as the error value output. You
may configure the error value output for each channel individually. An error value
output is accomplished in 2 steps:
first by configuring the error (or fallback) mode for each channel
then, if necessary, by configuring the error value (or fallback state) for the channel
All output channels have an error mode—either predefined state or hold last value.
When a channel has predefined state as its error mode, it may be configured with
an error value, which can be any value in the valid range. When a channel has hold
last value as its error mode, the channel will always remain in its last known state if
communication is lost. It cannot be configured with a predefined error value.
Output error modes are configured at the channel level. By default, the value for
each channel is 1, indicating a predefined state on each channel. If you set a
channel’s output error mode value to 0, the output error mode becomes hold last
value.
Output Error Values
When an output channel’s output error mode is a predefined state, you may set a
value of either 0 or 1 as the value that the output will go to if communication is lost.
The default output error value on all channels is 0.
Output Filter Constant
By default, the Output Filter Constant for each channel is 1, indicating that the
channel’s output will always be set to the commanded value. If you configure a
channel’s bit value to 0, the channel’s output will ignore the commanded output
value and will hold its last value.
