Analog Output Channel Behavior during download

In a DeltaV S series controller, what is the behavior of analog output channels when making changes to unused channels on the same card? For example- I have a 16 channel, HART, Analog Out card and want to use a channel that is currently unused. When I enable and download the card, are the other channels impacted and if so how? Thanks

  • Downloading the card should not affect your other channels. If one of the other channels already has a bad status, the bad status (pvbad or equivalent) alarm will re-initiate/alarm. I have not had a disruption in control to date and have downloaded a lot of AO cards but M & S series thru multiple versions of DeltaV .
