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).

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.

BAL_TIME

Seconds

Specifies the time for PV to match the OUT value after a transition from Man or OOS to Auto mode.

BLOCK_ERR

None

The error condition associated with the block. The errors that can appear are:

  • Out Of Service

FOLLOW

None

Allows OUT to track IN × GAIN (True [1] = active, False [0] = inactive).

GAIN

None

The gain value applied to IN.

IN

Determined by source

The analog input value and status to be dynamically compensated by the block.

LAG_TIME

Seconds

The lag time constant applied in dynamic compensation.

LEAD_TIME

Seconds

The lead time constant applied in dynamic compensation.

MODE

None

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

OUT

EU of IN

The primary value and status calculated by the block in Auto mode. OUT can be set manually in Man mode.

OUT_HI_LIM

EU of IN

The maximum output value allowed.

OUT_LO_LIM

EU of IN

The minimum output value allowed.

PV

EU of IN

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