Changing the I/O Block Schedule
Changing the I/O Block Schedule is typically done on the bench (not connected to a
control system) when you want to execute an I/O block to verify that the outputs of the
block are computed correctly.
NOTE
You cannot schedule I/O blocks when, at a minimum, any of the following hosts/linking
devices are detected on the segment: Rosemount 3420, DeltaV, Ovation,
Allen-Bradley, Honeywell Experion PKS, or Yokogawa Stardom. To schedule I/O
blocks, use the host system or remove the device from the segment and connect it
directly to the 475 Field Communicator.
To change the schedule:
1. Display the Live Device List; see page 4-7.
2. Double-tap a device.
3. Double-tap Advanced .
4. Double-tap Schedule . The I/O Block Schedule window appears.
5. Select the appropriate MacroCycle from the drop-down list.
6. Tap the appropriate checkboxes next to the I/O blocks.
7. Tap OK . This schedules the blocks and sets the block mode to Auto.
8. After reading the note, tap OK to acknowledge that the I/O blocks were successfully
scheduled.
Instantiating Blocks
The Instantiate Block menu lets you add function and transducer blocks to a
connected device. This menu item appears only if the fieldbus device contains
instantiable block types. After a block has been instantiated, the view displays the new
block. The Actual mode of the new instantiated block is set to OOS.
NOTE
You cannot instantiate or delete blocks when, at a minimum, any of the following
hosts/linking devices are detected on the segment: Rosemount 3420, DeltaV, Ovation,
Allen-Bradley, Honeywell Experion PKS, or Yokogawa Stardom. To instantiate or delete
blocks, use the host system or remove the device from the segment and connect it
directly to the 475 Field Communicator.
