IN-PROCESS OPERATION
This chapter describes the procedure performed when
changing the operation of the function block of the
AXF in process.
6.1 Mode Transition
When the function block mode is changed to
Out_Of_Service, the function block pauses and a block
alarm is issued.
When the function block mode is changed to Manual,
the function block suspends updating of output values.
In this case alone, it is possible to write a value to the
OUT parameter of the block for output. Note that no
parameter status can be changed.
6.2 Generation of Alarm
6.2.1 Indication of Alarm
When the self-diagnostics function indicates that a
device is faulty, an alarm (device alarm) is issued from
the resource block. When an error (block error) is
detected in each function block or an error in the
process value (process alarm) is detected, an alarm is
issued from each block. If an LCD indicator is in-
stalled, the error number is displayed. If two or more
alarms are issued, multiple error numbers are dis-
played.
For details of ALARM, refer to Section 7.2.
