5.1 Overview
This section contains information on the flowmeter resource block. Descriptions of all
resource block parameters, errors, and diagnostics are included. Also the modes, alarm
detection, status handling, Virtual Communication Relationships (VCRs), and troubleshoot-
ing are discussed.
5.1.1 Definition
The resource block defines the physical resources of the device, including type of
measurement, memory, etc. The resource block also handles functionality, such as shed
times, that is common across multiple blocks. The block has no linkable inputs or outputs
and it performs memory-level diagnostics.
5.2 Parameters and descriptions

ADVISE_ALARM 81 Alarm indicating advisory alarms. These conditions do not have a direct
impact on the process or device integrity.
ADVISE_ENABLE 90 Enabled ADVISE_ALM alarm conditions. Corresponds bit for bit to the
ADVISE_ACTIVE. A bit on means that the corresponding alarm condition is
