The following table lists the system parameters for the Inspect function block:
Parameter |
Unit |
Description |
|---|---|---|
ADVISORY |
None |
The number of devices being monitored that have the Advisory flag set. |
AREA |
None |
Note Leave this parameter blank. This parameter exists for compatibility with configurations created with earlier versions of the software. The software automatically determines the Area, Process Cell, or Unit Module, in which the block is located. To report data, insert an Inspect block in a module. If the block's SYSTEM parameter is set to TRUE, the block will report statistics for the entire control system, regardless of where it is located. Otherwise, the block reports statistics only for the current module with the Inspect block. |
COMMFAIL |
None |
The number of devices being monitored that have the Communications Failure flag set. |
DEVICES |

The total number of devices being monitored. |

None |
The number of devices being monitored that have the Failed flag set. |
MAINT |
None |
The number of devices being monitored that have the Maintenance flag set. |
PROCESS |
The units set in PROCESS_SCALE |
The averaged value of PROCESS_IN over the configured TIME_FRAME and TIME_WINDOW. |
PROCESS_IN |
The units set in PROCESS_SCALE |
The input value the Inspect block averages to produce the PROCESS value. PROCESS_IN can be tied to a CALC block, a process value, or an OPC value. |
PROCESS_LABEL |
None |
The label for the process value of the inspect block. The label, value, and units appear in the Overview page. |
PROCESS_SCALE |
None |
The scale and units for the PROCESS value. The label, value, and units appear in the InSight Overview page. |
