Frequently Asked Questions

How do I handle a module status LED displaying a solid red light?
A red status LED indicates internal diagnostics have identified a fault such as a power supply error, calibration loss, or output channel failure. Please verify your +24VDC source and check the controller software for specific error codes.

Can the output range be limited to 4-20mA?
Yes, the 0 to 21.8 mA range is fully scalable. You can configure the module in your control software to map your specific process variables to a 4-20mA output span.

How should I choose between Hold Last Value and a Failsafe Value?
Use "Hold Last Value" for processes where temporary communication loss should not cause an immediate mechanical state change. Use "Failsafe Value" for critical safety applications that require the output to move to a known "safe" state upon link loss.

What is the purpose of the slew rate function block?
The slew rate limits the maximum change in output current per cycle, preventing damaging mechanical stress on actuators or sudden surges in high-inertia process loops.
