Emerson Rosemount OCX 8800 - Support Resource Block Errors; Transducer Block

3. Select Enable to enable PWA simulation or Disable to disable the simulation feature.
4. Once the method is complete, select Resource | Simulate PWA in the resource block.
If the simulation is enabled, the PWA Simulate parameter is configurable. Otherwise
it is read-only.
5. Now select Simulation On or Simulation Off from the PWA Simulate parameter.
When PWA simulation is on, all of the PWA active parameters and the resource and
transducer block status parameters are configurable. Otherwise they are read-only.
6. To simulate PlantWeb Alerts, select the alerts listed under Failed Active, Maintenance
Active, and Advisory Active (Resource | Simulate PWA).
7. To simulate block alarms, select the alarms listed under Detailed Status in the
resource block (Resource | Simulate Status) or under Detailed Status in the transducer
block (Transducer | Simulate Status).
8. Select Resource | PWA SubStatus to see the active PWA alarms and masks. Select Fail
Active, Maintenance Active, or Advisory Active for active PWA alarms.
9. Select Resource | Status | Detailed Status or Transducer | Status | Detailed Status to
see the resource or transducer block detailed status.
7.5.1 Support resource block errors
Resource block
• Out of Service: Set whenever the resource block actual mode is out of service.
• Power Up: Set whenever the FF card powers up.
• Block Configuration Error: Configure Error is used to indicate that you had selected
an item in FEATURES_SEL or CYCLE_SEL that was not in FEATURES or CYCLE_TYPE
respectively.
• Simulation active: Set whenever the Fieldbus simulate switch is set to On at the
Fieldbus card or software simulate option enabled.
Transducer block
• Out of Service: Set whenever the transducer block actual mode is out of service.
• Input Failure: Set whenever there is a communication error between the Fieldbus
card and the OCX.
• Simulation Active: Set whenever the Fieldbus Simulate switch is set to On at the
Fieldbus card or the Software simulate option is enabled.
• Other error: Set whenever XD_ERROR is non-zero.
