5.3.4 Discrete Input block
The Discrete Input block is fully configurable and provides characterization for the incoming signal.
The
OUT_D value can be inverted setting the appropriate option in the IO_OPS parameter.
Fig. 5-3 Schematic diagram of Discrete Input block
Procedure 1 In the fieldbus view, right click on the Discrete Input block Device Tag-DI-n and select Off
Line Characterization . The Characterization dialog opens.
– Press the ALL button in the toolbar to display all parameters
2 Expand the MODE_BLK node and set the Target Mode to Auto

– Select the Invert option and click End Edit
5 For a delayed output use the PV_FTIME parameter
– Select the PV_FTIME parameter and click on Edit
– Enter the delay time (s) then click on End Edit .
6 If required, set an alarm in the DISC_ALM parameter set, see BA022S/04/en
