3 Primary Variable Analog
Output Fixed
The analog and digital outputs for the primary
variable are held at their requested value. They
will not respond to the applied process.
2 Primary Variable Analog
Output Saturated
The analog and digital outputs for the primary
variables are beyond their limits and no longer
represent the true applied process.
1 Nonprimary Variable Out of
Limits
The process applied to a sensor, other than that
of the primary variable, is beyond the operating
limits of the device. To identify the variable, use
command #48, read additional status
information.
0 Primary Variable Out of
