Analog Control Blocks > Bias/Gain function block

Bias/Gain function block status handling

When the IN_1 status is evaluated Bad, the block will drop to an actual mode of MAN. Other status behavior is dependent upon the settings in the parameter STATUS_OPTS.

Supported STATUS_OPTS

Use Uncertain as Good — If this option is selected, a status of Uncertain for IN_1 will be treated as good. If it is not selected, Uncertain will be treated as Bad, resulting in the block's dropping to MAN mode.

IFS if Bad CAS_IN — (only supported in fieldbus devices) If CAS_IN status is Bad, OUT substatus is set to IFS (Initiate Fault State ) and, thereby, ispropagated to a downstream block.

IFS if Bad IN — (only supported in fieldbus devices) If IN_1 status is Bad, OUT substatus is set to IFS (Initiate Fault State) and, thereby, is propagated to a downstream block.

Target to Manual if Bad IN — If IN_1 status is evaluated as Bad, the target mode drops to MAN.

Note

You can adjust STATUS_OPTS in Manual or Out of Service mode only.
