DI NAMUR CHARM specifications

Installation notes

This CHARM requires a CHARM Terminal Block.
This CHARM can sense relay/switch contact closure and supports NAMUR sensors with NAMUR-specified line fault detection levels.
This CHARM can be configured as a pulse count input channel.
Debounce filters can be configured for this CHARM in DeltaV Explorer.
This CHARM supports line fault detection for detecting open or short circuits in field wiring when external line fault resistors are used. To use line fault detection you must:
- Enable line fault detection in the configuration.
- Connect the dry contact to a 12 kΩ resistor in parallel for open circuit detection and a 2.4 kΩ resistor in series for short circuit detection.
