Resource Block (RB)
Rel.
Index
Parameter
Description
01
ST_REV
The revision level of the static data associated with the
resource block. The revision value is incremented each
time a static parameter value in the block is changed.
02
TAG_DESC
The user description of the intended application of the
block.
03
STRATEGY
The strategy field can be used to identify grouping of
blocks. This data is not checked or processed by the
block.
04
ALERT_KEY
The identification number of the plant unit. This
information may be used in the host for sorting alarms,
etc.
05
MODE_BLK
The actual, target, permitted, and normal modes of the
block:
·
■
Target: The mode to "go to"
■
Actual: The mode the "block is currently in"
■
Permitted: Allowed modes that target may take on
■
Normal: Most common mode for actual
06
BLOCK_ERR
This parameter reflects the error status associated with
the hardware or software components associated with a
block. It is a bit string so that multiple errors may be
shown. Supported values are:
·
■
Simulate Active: Hardware switch is set to "simulation
possible"
■
Lost Static Data: The database used for storing the
NV parameters within the device is corrupt
■
Device Needs Maintenance Now: The hardware of
the device failed in some way (e.g., body temperature
too high)
■
Out-of-Service: The RB is in OOS mode
07
