Parameter

Units

Description

ABNORM_ACTIVE

None

The indication that a block error condition not selected in BAD_MASK (on the function block level) is True (Active) or the indication that an error condition (at the module level) not selected in MERROR_MASK is True (Active) or a module status not selected in MSTATUS_MASK is True (Active).

BAD_ACTIVE

None

The indication that a block error condition selected in BAD_MASK (at the function block level) is True (Active) or the indication that an error condition (at the module level) selected in MERROR_MASK is True (Active) or a module status selected in MSTATUS_MASK is True (Active).

BAD_MASK

None

The set of active error conditions that triggers a user-defined Bad condition. The user selects a subset of block error (BLOCK_ERR) conditions in the BAD_MASK parameter. When any of these conditions are True, the BAD_ACTIVE parameter becomes True. When any of the BLOCK_ERR conditions that are not included in BAD_MASK are True, ABNORM_ACTIVE becomes True.

BAL_TIME

Seconds

Specifies the time for the internal value of the delay input signal to match the OUT value.

BLOCK_ERR

None

The summary of active error conditions associated with the block. The possible block error for the Deadtime function block is:

  • Out of Service

DEAD_TIME

Seconds

Time delay introduced in the input signal to generate the output value. Enter a value between 0 and 32400.

FOLLOW

None

Allows OUT to track IN (True [1] = active, False [0] = inactive).

IN

Determined by source

The input value and status to be delayed by the block.

MODE

None

Parameter used to request and show the source of the output used by the block.

OUT

EU of IN

The primary value and status calculated by the block in Auto mode. OUT can be set manually in Man mode.

Default values and data type information for the parameters are available by expanding the Parameter View window.
