Idx Name Byte PC Description
The block alarm is used for all configuration, hardware,
connection failure 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 alert may be reported without
clearing the Active Status, if the sub-code has changed.
1 R/W Unacknowledged
1 R Alarm State
8 R Time Stamp:
The date and time of when the alert was generated.
2 R Sub-code
8 BLOCK_ALM
1 R Value
9 TRANSDUCER_
DIRECTORY
4 R Directory that specifies the number and starting indices of the
transducers in the transducer block.
10 TRANSDUCER_
TYPE
2 R Identifies the transducer type, always 101 = Standard
Temperature with Calibration.
11 XD_ERROR 1 R Transducer block error sub-code
12 COLLECTION_
DIRECTORY
36 R Directory that specifies the number, starting indices, and the
DD items IDs of the data collections in each transducer within a
transducer block.
13 PRIMARY_VALUE_
TYPE
2 R/W Type of measurement representing the primary value. The
default measurement type is 104 Process Temperature.
4 R This is the output value from the TB and input for the AIFB
when CHANNEL = 1.
It is always represented in the PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE
Unit-Index.
14 PRIMARY_VALUE
1 R This is the output status from the TB.
4 R High Range
4 R Low Range
2 R Unit Index
15 PRIMARY_VALUE_
RANGE
1 R Decimal point
All the values are associated with the
PRIMARY_VALUE. This record is read only
and it is always a copy of the XD_SCALE of
the AIFB having the Channel = 1. Whenever
writing on XD_SCALE of the AIFB with
CHANNEL = 1 are performed, the
PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE is updated in
the same way. The usable units´ code is the
same of the XD_SCALE in the Analog Input
Function Block.
