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).
|
ALERT_KEY
|
None
|
A user-assigned identification number reported in alarm messages from the block that allows HMI applications to sort and filter alarms and events. Set this parameter for each function block to indicate the physical unit the function block is associated with. This information can be used in the host for sorting alarms, and so on.
|
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.
|
BLOCK_ERR
|
None
|
The summary of active error conditions associated with the block.
|
CHANNEL
|
None
|
Allows for custom channel setting. Valid values include:
|
CHANNEL_n
where
n = 1 through 8
|
None
|
The number of the logical hardware channel that is connected to the I/O block. It defines the transducer to be used going to or from the physical world.
|
IO_OPTS
|
None
|
I/O options allow you to select how the I/O signals are processed. The only supported option is:
|
L_TYPE
|
None
|
Linearization type. Determines whether the field value is used directly (Direct), is converted linearly (Indirect), or is converted with the square root (Indirect Square Root).
|
LOW_CUT
|
Percent
|
Activated when the Low Cutoff I/O option is enabled (True). When the converted measurement is below the LOW_CUT value, the PV is set to 0.0.
|
MODE
|
None
|
Parameter used to request and show the source of the output used by the block.
|
OUT_n
where
n = 1 through 8
|
EU of OUT_SCALE
|
The primary value and status calculated by the block in Auto mode. OUT can be set manually in Man mode.
|
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_FTIME
|
Seconds
|
The time constant of the first-order PV filter. It is the time required for a 63% change in the FIELD_VAL to be reflected in the PV.
|
SIMULATE
|
None
|
Enables simulation and allows you to enter an input value and status. The SIMULATE value is used by the block only when SIMULATE is enabled.
|
ST_REV
|
None
|
The revision level of the static data associated with the function block. To support tracking changes in static parameter fields, the associated block's static revision parameter is incremented each time a static parameter field value is changed. Also, the associated block's static revision parameter is incremented if a static parameter field is written but the value is not changed.
|
STATUS_OPTS
|
None
|
Status options allow you to select options for status handling and processing. The supported status options are:
|
STRATEGY
|
None
|
Used to identify groupings of blocks. This data is not checked or processed by the block.
|
SUBSTITUTE_IN
|
Determined by source or EU of PV_SCALE
|
If there is a problem communicating with the field device and SUBSTITUTE_IN has a non-Bad status, the controller passes the SUBSTITUTE_IN value through to the output parameter(s) of the shadow block.
|
XD_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 channel input value.
