Configuring Discrete Events
10.1 About this chapter
This chapter explains how to configure discrete events. Discrete events include all the software
parameters listed in Figure 10-1.
Failure to perform configuration tasks in the proper sequence could result in an incomplete
configuration. See Section 1.7 for the recommended configuration sequence.
10.2 Discrete events menu
Use the Discrete Events menu, shown in Figure 10-1, to access and configure discrete event
parameters. The Discrete Events menu is a submenu of the Measurements menu, which is accessed
through the Configuration option of the Management menu. To access the Management menu, see
Chapter 4.
10.3 About discrete events
A discrete event occurs if the real-time value of a user-specified process variable varies beyond a
user-specified value.
Discrete events are used to perform specific actions on the Series 3000 platform. For example, the
discrete event can be defined to activate a discrete output if the flow rate is outside a specified range.
Note: In rev7.0 of the Series 3000 firmware, discrete events are available on all Series 3000 devices.
In previous firmware versions, discrete events were available only on the Model 3500 and
Model 3700 transmitters; they were not available on the Model 3300 and Model 3350 controllers.
CAUTION
Changing configuration can affect device operation.
Set control devices for manual operation before changing device configuration.
