7.Tap the appropriate checkboxes next to the I/O blocks.
8.Tap OK. This schedules the blocks and sets the block mode to Auto.
9.After reading the note, tap OK to acknowledge that the I/O blocks
were successfully scheduled.
Instantiating blocks
The Instantiate Block menu lets you add function and transducer
blocks to a connected device. This menu item appears only if the
fieldbus device contains instantiable block types. After a block has
been instantiated, the view displays the new block. The Actual mode of
the new instantiated block is set to OOS.
NOTE
You cannot instantiate or delete blocks when, at a minimum, any of the
following hosts/linking devices are detected on the segment:
Rosemount 3420, DeltaV, Ovation, Allen-Bradley FFLD and FFLDC,
Honeywell Experion PKS, Yokogawa Stardom or CENTUM, Softing
FG-100/HSE, or SMAR DF62. To instantiate or delete blocks, use the
host system or remove the device from the segment and connect it
directly to the 475 Field Communicator.
To instantiate a block:
1.Display the Live Device List; see page 65.
2.Double-tap a device.
3.Double-tap Advanced.
4.Double-tap Instantiate Block.
5.Select Yes or No when you are asked if the device is commissioned.
You cannot instantiate blocks if the device is commissioned.
6.Tap the type of block that you want to add to the device.
7.Tap OK to add the block to the device. Tap CANCEL to exit the
window without adding a block.
8.When the warning message appears, tap YES to instantiate the
block, or NO to cancel the operation.
Deleting instantiated blocks
The Delete Block menu lets you delete instantiated blocks from a
fieldbus device; you cannot delete permanent blocks. You can delete
only one instantiated block at a time, and the Actual mode in the
device must be set to OOS. If the Delete Block menu item is selected
and no blocks have been instantiated in the device, an error message
appears. After a block has been deleted, the window is refreshed and it
does not display the deleted block.
To delete an instantiated block:
1.Display the Live Device List; see page 65.
2.Double-tap a device.
3.Double-tap Advanced.
