asks if you want to continue. Select Yes to perform the
restart action, select No to select another action or
exit. Restart informs you when the restart is
completed. You must acknowledge the message to
continue.
Restart Processor—Performing a Restart Processor
has the same effect as removing power from the
instrument and re-applying power. Configuration and
calibration do not change.
Restart with Defaults—Performing a Restart with
Defaults should be done with care. This restart resets
most of the static and non-volatile parameters for all of
the blocks in the instrument to their initial value, as
listed in table 4-2. After a Restart with Defaults, you
should place the instrument in service (the transducer
block mode to auto) and run Device Setup and
download the instrument configuration from the control
system to properly setup the instrument. You also may
need to re-establish communication links and trends.
Fault State
Fault State (FAULT_STATE [28]), when active,
indicates that the resource block is currently forcing
the output block to perform its FSTATE [28] action.
Selecting Fault State enables the ability to manually
set and clear the fault state.
Set Fault State
Selecting Set Fault State (SET_FSTATE [29] changes
the Fault State (FAULT_STATE [28]) to Active.
Setting Set FState (SET_FSTATE [29]) to SET
manually places the instrument in the fault state.
Clear Fault State
Setting Clear FState (CLR_FSTATE [30]) to CLEAR
clears the device fault state, if no faults are currently
active. You can test the actions the output blocks will
perform by manually setting fault state active.
Device Variables
Instrument
(RB

Instrument)
The following parameters are contained in the the
Instrument menu of the resource block.
Identification
Device ID
The 32 character Device ID (DEVICE_ID [54]).
Electronics Serial Number
The Electronics Serial Number (ELECTRONICS_SN
[49]) set at the factory.
Factory Serial Number
The Factory Serial Number (FACTORY_SN [50]) is
the instrument serial number set at the factory.
Field Serial Number
The Field Serial Number (FIELD_SN [51]) is the serial
number of the valve and actuator on which the
instrument is mounted.
Tag Description
The Tag Description (TAG_DESC [2]) is unique
description of each block within the digital valve
controller, used to describe the intended application
for the block. Follow the prompts on the Field
Communicator to enter an up to 32 character
description for the block in the Tag Description field.
(This parameter is read/write.)
Strategy
Strategy (STRATEGY [3]) permits strategic grouping
of blocks so the operator can identify where the block
is located. The blocks may be grouped by plant area,
plant equipment, etc. Enter a value between 0 and
65535 in the Strategy field.
Manufacturer
Manufacturer Identification (MANUFAC_ID [10])
identifies the manufacturer of the instrument. It is used
by the host system to locate the DD file for the device.
For Fisher the Manufacturer ID is 0x5100.
Device Type
Device Type (DEV_TYPE [11]) identifies the type of
device. It is used by the host system to locate the DD
file for the device. For a DVC6000f digital valve
controller with Standard Control the device type is
0x4602.
Version
Device Revision
Device Revision (DEV_REV [12]) identifies the device
revision number. It is used by the host system to
locate the DD file for the device.
Firmware Revision
Firmware Revision (FIRMWARE_REV_ALL [47.6])
shows all device firmware revisions currently in
operation.
