Concentrator Block (TIC)
The properties column contains the following parameter properties:
■
S: Static (a write access to this parameter increments ST_REV)
■
W: Writeable parameter
■
OOS: Parameter is writeable in out-of-service (OOS) mode only
■
SP: Special (see description column)
■
NF: Non-functional parameter (does not change block behavior)

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
S, W, NF
The user description of the intended
application of the block.
03
STRATEGY
S, W, NF
The strategy field can be used to identify
grouping of blocks. This data is not checked or
processed by the block.
04
ALERT_KEY
S, W, NF
The identification number of the plant unit.
This information may be used in the host for
sorting alarms, etc.
05
MODE_BLK
S, W
The actual, target, permitted, and normal
modes of the block:
·
■
Actual: The mode the "block is currently in"
■
Target: The mode to "go to"
■
Permitted: Allowed modes that target may
take on
■
Normal: Most common mode for target
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:
■
15: Out-of-Service = Actual Mode of the
Block is OOS
■
129: Body temperature too high or too low
07
UPDATE_EVT
This alert is generated by any change to the
static data
08
BLOCK_ALM
The block alarm is used for all configuration,
hardware connection feature, or system
problems in the block. The cause of the alert is
entered in the subcode field. The first alert to
become active will set the Active status in the
Status parameter. As soon as the Unreported
status is cleared by the alert reporting task,
another block may be reported without
clearing the Active status, if the subcode has
changed.
09
Transducer Error
(XD_ERROR)
Stores the actual transducer block error with
the highest priority. Supported values are:
■
129: Body temperature too high or too low
