Instruction Manual
WRITE_LOCK
: When set to LOCKED, will prevent any
external change to the static or non-volatile data base in the
Function Block Application of the transmitter. Block con-
nections and calculation results will proceed normally, but
the configuration will be locked.
UPDATE_EVT (Update Event)
: Is an alert generated by a
write to the static data in the block.
BLOCK_ALM (Block Alarm)
: Is used for configuration,
hardware, connection, or system problems in the block. The
cause of any specific alert is entered in the subcode field.
ALARM_SUM (Alarm Summary)
: Contains the current
alert status, the unacknowledged states, the unreported
states, and the disabled states of the alarms associated with
the block.
ACK_OPTION (Acknowledge Option)
: Selects whether
alarms associated with the block will be automatically
acknowledged.
WRITE_PRI (Write Priority)
: The priority of the alarm
generated by clearing the write lock.
WRITE ALM (Write Alarm)
: The alert generated if the
write lock parameter is cleared.
ITK_VER (ITK Version)
: Contains the version of the
Interoperability Test Kit (ITK) used by the Fieldbus
Foundation during their interoperability testing.
COMPATIBILITY_REV
: This parameter is intended to
assist users and host system in device replacement scenarios.
It is a read-only parameter and the value of the
COMPATIBILITY_REV is defined by the device developer
and manufacturer. In such device replacement scenario the
DEV_REV value of the replaced device is equal or greater
than the COMPATIBILITY_REV value of the new device.
2.2.2 additional Resource Block Parameters
Additional parameters are available within the resource
block for use with NE-107 to aid in communicating device
conditions to the user.
FD_VER
: Major version of the Field Diagnostic specifica-
tion to which this device conforms.
FD_FAIL_ACTIVE
: For error conditions that have been
selected for the FAIL alarm category, this parameter reflects
those that have been detected as active.
FD_OFFSPEC_ACTIVE
: For error conditions that have
been selected for the OFFSPEC alarm category, this para-
meter reflects those that have been detected as active.
