Symptom Possible causes Recommended actions
Bad or no level readings
(Read the AI “BLOCK_ERR”
parameter)
BLOCK_ERR reads OUT OF SERVICE (OOS) • AI Block target mode set to OOS.
• Resource Block OUT OF SERVICE.
BLOCK_ERR reads CONFIGURATION ERROR • Check CHANNEL parameter (see
CHANNEL).
• Check L_TYPE parameter (see L_TYPE).
• Check XD_SCALE engineering units.
(see XD_SCALE and OUT_SCALE).
BLOCK_ERR reads POWERUP Download Schedule into block. Refer to
host for downloading procedure.
BLOCK_ERR reads BAD INPUT • Sensor Transducer Block Out Of Service
(OOS).
• Resource Block Out of Service (OOS).
No BLOCK_ERR but readings are not
correct. If using Indirect mode, scaling
could be wrong
• Check XD_SCALE parameter.
• Check OUT_SCALE parameter. (see
XD_SCALE and OUT_SCALE).
OUT parameter status reads
UNCERTAIN and substatus
reads EngUnitRangViolation
Out_ScaleEU_0 and EU_100 settings are
incorrect.
