TARGET_MODE
The TARGET_MODE indicates what mode of operation is required for the block. It is
normally set by a control application or by an operator through a human interface
application. The input parameters are used by the algorithm in conjunction with the state
of the Function Block application containing the block to determine if the algorithm can
achieve the target mode of operation established for it.
See parameter 'MODE_BLK', 'Permitted' element for possible values.

MODE_BLK
The MODE_BLK is a structured parameter composed of the actual mode, the normal
mode and the permitted mode of the block.
The actual mode is set (calculated) by the block during its execution to reflect the mode
used during execution.
Normal mode is the required operating mode of the block.
The permitted mode shows which changes of the target mode are valid for the specific
block to the remote user of the MODE_BLK parameter.
