The following table lists the system parameters for the Manual Loader function block:

Table: Manual Loader function block system parameters

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).

ALARM_HYS

Percent of PV_SCALE

The amount the alarm value must return within the alarm limit before the associated active alarm condition clears. ALARM_HYS is limited to 50% of scale.

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.

BKCAL_IN

EU of OUT_SCALE

The analog input value and status from another block's BKCAL_OUT output that is used by an upstream block for bumpless transfer.

BLOCK_ERR

None

The summary of active error conditions associated with the block. The possible block errors for the Manual Loader function block are:

  • Out of Service.

  • Local Override

CONTROL_OPTS

None

Control options allow you to specify control strategy options. The supported control options are:

  • No OUT Limits in Manual

  • Track in Manual.

  • Track Enable

HI_ACT

None

The result of alarm detection associated with HI_LIM. If HI_ACT equals True, HI_LIM has been exceeded.

HI_HI_ACT

None

The result of alarm detection associated with HI_HI_LIM. If HI_HI_ACT equals True, HI_HI_LIM has been exceeded.

HI_HI_LIM

EU of PV

The setting for the alarm limit used to detect the high high alarm condition.

HI_LIM

EU of PV

The setting for the alarm limit used to detect the high alarm condition.

IN

EU of PV

The input value that is filtered to obtain PV.

LO_ACT

None

The result of alarm detection associated with LO_LIM. If LO_ACT equals True, LO_LIM has been exceeded.

LO_LIM

EU of PV

The setting for the alarm limit used to detect the low alarm condition.

LO_LO_ACT

None

The result of alarm detection associated with LO_LO_LIM. If LO_LO_ACT equals True, LO_LO_LIM has been exceeded.

LO_LO_LIM

EU of PV

The setting for the alarm limit used to detect the low low alarm condition.

MODE

None

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

OUT

EU of OUT_SCALE

The primary value and status of the block. OUT can be set by an operator in Man mode.

OUT_HI_LIM

EU of OUT_SCALE

The maximum output value allowed.

OUT_LO_LIM

EU of OUT_SCALE

The minimum output value allowed.

OUT_SCALE

None

The high and low scale values, engineering units code, and number of digits to the right of the decimal point associated with OUT.

PV

EU of PV_SCALE

The process variable used in block execution and alarm limit detection.

PV_FTIME

Seconds

The time constant of the first-order PV filter. It is the time required for a 63% change in the IN value.

PV_SCALE

None

The high and low scale values, the engineering units code, and the number of digits to the right of the decimal point associated with PV.

TRK_IN_D

None

Discrete input that initiates output tracking (True [1] = active, False [0] = inactive). TRK_IN_D is acted on only when the Track Enable and/or Track in Manual control options are selected.

TRK_SCALE

None

The high and low scale values, engineering units code, and number of digits to the right of the decimal point associated with the external tracking value (TRK_VAL).

TRK_VAL

EU of OUT_SCALE

The analog input used in the external tracking function.
