Resource Block
FREE_SPACE 24 FREE_SPACE is the percent of memory available for further configuration (zero
in a preconfigured device).
FREE_TIME 25 FREE_TIME is the percent of the block processing time that is free to process
additional blocks.
GRANT_DENY 14 This parameter represents options for controlling access of host computers
and local control panels to operating, tuning, and alarm parameters of the
block (not used by device).
HARD_TYPES 15 This parameter represents the types of hardware available as channel
numbers. This parameter is limited to scalar (i.e., analog) inputs.
HARDWARE_REVISION 68 Manufacturer hardware revision.
HEALTH_INDEX 76 The value of HEALTH_INDEX parameter shall be set based on the active FD
alarms or PWA alarms. HEALTH_INDEX will show 100 if target mode of block
is OOS or there are no active alarms in device.
ITK_VER 41 Major revision number of the interoperability test case used in certifying this
device as interoperable. The format and range are controlled by the
FieldComm Foundation.
LIM_NOTIFY 32 This parameter represents the maximum number of unconfirmed alert notify
messages allowed.
MAINT_ACTIVE 88 Enumerated list of maintenance conditions within a device. All open bits are
free to be used as appropriate for each specific device
This parameter is the Read Only copy of FD_OFFSPEC_ACTIVE.
MAINT_ALARM 80 Alarm indicating the device needs maintenance soon. If the condition is
ignored, the device will eventually fail.
MAINT_ENABLE 86 Enabled MAINT_ALM alarm conditions. Corresponds bit for bit to the
MAINT_ACTIVE. A bit on means that the corresponding alarm condition is
enabled and will be detected. A bit off means the corresponding alarm
condition is disabled and will not be detected.
This parameter is the Read Only copy of FD_OFFSPEC_MAP.
MAINT_MASK 87 Mask of Maintenance Alarm. Corresponds bit for bit to the MAINT_ACTIVE. A
bit on means that the failure is masked out from alarming.
This parameter is the Read Only copy of FD_OFFSPEC_MASK.
MAINT_PRI 85 Designates the alarming priority of the MAINT_ALM
MANUFAC_ID 10 MANUFAC_ID is the manufacturer identification number used by an interface
device to locate the DD file for the resource (001151 for Rosemount).
MAX_NOTIFY 31 MAX_NOTIFY is the maximum number of unconfirmed alert notify messages
possible.
MEMORY_SIZE 22 This parameter represents the available configuration memory in the empty
resource. Check MEMORY_SIZE before attempting a download.
MIN_CYCLE_T 21 MIN_CYCLE_T represents the time duration of the shortest cycle interval of
which the resource is capable.
MODE_BLK 05 The actual, target, permitted, and normal modes of the block:
Target: The mode to “go to”
Actual: The mode the “block is currently in”
Permitted: Allowed modes that the target mode may take on
Normal: Most common mode for the actual
NV_CYCLE_T 23 NV_CYCLE_T represents the interval between writing copies of NV
parameters to nonvolatile memory (zero means never).
OUTPUT_BOARD_SN 73 Output board serial number.
