The STATUS_OPTS parameter reflects the measurement value and the operating condition of the channel in the fieldbus device.
There are four FFMAI_RMT block status options:
Uncertain if Man mode -- Sets the OUT_n status to Uncertain if the block is in Manual mode.
Bad if Limited -- Sets the OUT_n status to Bad if the channel input status is limited.
Uncertain if Limited -- Sets the OUT_n status to Uncertain if the channel input status is limited.
Propagate Fault Forward -- If the status from the sensor is Bad - Device Failure or Bad - Sensor Failure, propagate it to OUT_n without generating an alarm. The use of these substatuses in OUT_n is determined by this option. Through this option, you can determine whether alarming (sending of an alert) will be done by the block or propagated downstream for alarming.
You can set the status option (STATUS_OPTS) in Out of Service mode only.
In Auto mode, OUT_n reflects the value and status quality of the measurement. In Man mode, the OUT_n status high and low limits are set to indicate that the value is a constant and the OUT_n status is always Good.
