1
Block Configuration Error: the selected channel carries a measurement that is incompatible with
the engineering units selected in XD_SCALE, the L_TYPE parameter is not configured, or
CHANNEL = zero.
3 Simulate Active: Simulation is enabled and the block is using a simulated value in its execution.
7
Input Failure/Process Variable has Bad Status: The hardware is bad, or a bad status is being
simulated.
14 Power Up: Block is not scheduled.
15 Out of Service: The actual mode is out of service.

CONFIGURATION ERROR
1. Check CHANNEL parameter (see “CHANNEL” on page 151 )
2. Check L_TYPE parameter (see “L_TYPE” on page 151 )
3. Check XD_SCALE engineering units. (see “XD_SCALE and
OUT_SCALE” on page 151 )

BLOCK_ERR reads BAD INPUT
1. Sensor Transducer Block Out Of Service (OOS)
2. Resource Block Out of Service (OOS)
No BLOCK_ERR but readings are
not correct. If using Indirect
mode, scaling could be wrong. 1. Check XD_SCALE parameter.
2. Check OUT_SCALE parameter.
(see “XD_SCALE and OUT_SCALE” on page 151 )
No BLOCK_ERR. Sensor needs to
be calibrated or Zero trimmed. See Section 3: HART Commissioning to determine the appropriate
trimming or calibration procedure.
OUT parameter status
reads UNCERTAIN and
substatus reads
EngUnitRangViolation.
Out_ScaleEU_0 and EU_100
settings are incorrect.
