R/W
1
ST_REV
The revision level of the static data associated with the
function block. The revision value will be incremented each
time a static parameter value in the block is changed.

2
TAG_DESC
The user description of the intended application of the block.
R/W
3
STRATEGY
The strategy field can be used to identify grouping of blocks.
This data is not checked or processed by the block.
R/W
4
ALERT_KEY
The identification number of the plant unit. This information
may be used in the host for sorting alarms, etc.
1 to 255
None
R/W
5
MODE_BLK
The actual, target, permitted, and normal modes of the block.

6
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.
E

7
PV
Either the primary analog value for use in executing the
function, or a process value associated with it. May also be
calculated from the READBACK value of an AO block.
PV

8
SP
The analog setpoint of this block.
PV/- 10%
PV
9
OUT
The primary analog value calculated as a result of executing
the function block.
OUT/- 10%
10
PV_SCALE
The high and low scale values, engineering units code, and
number of digits to the right of the decimal point to be used in
displaying the PV parameter and parameters which have the
same scaling as PV.
0-100%
PV
11
OUT_SCALE
The high and low scale values, engineering units code, and
number of digits to the right of the decimal point to be used in
displaying the OUT parameter and parameters which have the
same scaling as OUT.
0-100%
OUT
12
GRANT_DENY
Options for controlling access of host computers and local
control panels to operating, tuning, and alarm parameters of
the block.
13
CONTROL_OPTS
Options which the user may select to alter the calculations
done in a control block.
0
14
STATUS_OPTS
Option of status which the user may select to alter input and
output block processing.
15
IN
The primary input value of the block, required for blocks that
filter the input to get the PV.
PV
16
PV_FTIME
Time constant of a single exponential filter for the value to be
rationed, in seconds.
Positive or zero
0

17
BYPASS
The normal control algorithm may be bypassed through this
parameter. When bypass is set, the setpoint value (in percent)
will be directly transferred to the output. To prevent a bump
on transfer to/from bypass, the setpoint will automatically be
initialized to the output value or process variable,
respectively, and the path broken flag will be set for one
execution.
