M (Maintenance):
An alarm category for a detected failure that has a low level of urgency but is a failure
that could develop into a problem causing restrictions in instrument functionality in some
environments.
Classic Status and Condensed Status can be switched by using the Condensed Status/
Diagnosis (PB.COND_STATUS_DIAG) parameter.
5.3
Simulation Function
It is possible to conduct testing for the downstream function blocks or alarm processes. Following
description is how to use and how to set parameters of this function.
n
AI Function Blocks
When the parameters are set in the transducer block, it is necessary to set parameters as shown
in Table 5.1 in the AI function blocks. When Simulate_Enabled in AI function blocks described
at Table 5.1 is set to “1: Enabled”, the each AI function block that set this parameter uses the
simulation value instead of the data from the transducer block.

5.4
Write lock (Write-protect) function
The transmitter is provided with a write lock (write-protect) function to restrict write operations to
blocks and prevent inadvertent writing of parameter data. To enable this function, use the write
lock switch (Hard W Lock) or the WRITE_LOCKING (Physical block index 34) (Soft W Lock).
The CPU assembly of the transmitter is provided with a write lock switch (refer to Figure 2.3).
When the write lock switch is disabled, set 0 (protected) for WRITE_LOCKING (index 34) of the
physical block to enable the write lock function.
These parameters and issue shall control the parameter access as defined in Table 5.2.
