Configuration
BLOCK_ERR in Resource Block
•
BLOCK_ERR = BlockConfiguration
:
o
This error occurs after a block parameter check (executed automatically by the device) detects
an error, like an invalid value or two parameters with incompatible values. Block Configuration
Errors are best explained with the addition of the Block Err Description in the Resource Block’s
common practice parameters.
•
BLOCK_ERR = DeviceFaultState
: device fault state is active.
o
The RB can be forcing this state. Check FAULT_STATE, SET_FSTATE and CLR_FSTATE parameters.
o
There is at least one transducer or function block with BLOCK_ERR = BlockConfiguration. Check
every block to find out where the problem in order to clear them. Only after all blocks in the
application are free of block errors this bit in the Resource block will be cleared.
•
BLOCK_ERR = DeviceMaintenance
: this bit indicates the positioner needs to be calibrated.
o
This error bit is valid only if the Transducer block is configured with block mode is in AUTO.
o
If there is any configuration error in the Transducer block, the block mode will not go to AUTO,
therefore the DeviceMaintenance bit in the Resource block will
not
be set.
•
BLOCK_ERR = OutOfService
: Resource block mode (MODE_BLK.ACTUAL) is not going to AUTO
when MODE_BLK.Target = AUTO.
o
Check If MODE_BLK.Target = AUTO.
BLOCK_ERR in Transducer block
1)
BLOCK_ERR = BlockConfiguration
: this bit is the most common error. It is set whenever there is a
misconfiguration in the transducer or function blocks. Check the following parameters:
•
One or more associated function block is in OOS mode. Change mode to AUTO.
2)
BLOCK_ERR = SensorFailure
: an error occurred during calibration. Repeat the calibration
procedure.
3)
BLOCK_ERR = OutOfService
: Transducer block is not going to AUTO when MODE_BLK.Target =
AUTO.
•
Transducer block is configured as Single or Double Action but there is no AO assigned with a
valid channel. Configure the AO channel
BLOCK_ERR in Analog Output
1)
BLOCK_ERR = BlockConfiguration
: check the following parameters:
•
CHANNEL: it should be configured with a valid channel. See Analog Output channels table for
more details.
