Current Output Function (2.6.1.)
Note
Level, space, and distance, have different reference points.
Use caution when changing Current Output Function while the device is connected to a
HART network. Current Output Function controls the primary value and the loop current for
the device.
Current Output Function also affects the secondary, tertiary and quaternary variables in a
HART network.
Can be set to either Level, Space, Distance, or Volume. (The device can carry out a volume
calculation only after a vessel shape has been specified.)

* Level Low Calibration Point measured as a percentage of the differ‐
ence between High Calibration Point and
Low Calibration Point
Space High Calibration Point
Distance Sensor reference point measured as a percentage of Low Cali‐

Volume converts a level measurement to a volume output
Manual
a)
(LUI only)
allows mA Output Value (2.6.6.) to be set to a user-defined value
a)
Current Output Function must be set to Manual before modifying mA Output Value (2.6.6.).
Remember to restore the previous Current Output Function setting after modifying mA Output Value.
To view the mA reading in the secondary region of the LCD, press
on the handheld
programmer.
To modify Current Output Function via SIMATIC PDM:
Open the menu Device – Select Analog Output. See Select Analog Output via SIMATIC
PDM (Page 78) for more detail.
