Refer to Table 7-34 to troubleshoot any problems that you encounter.
Table 7-34 Troubleshooting
Set target mode to something other than OOS.
BLOCK_ERR will show the configuration error set. ARITH_TYPE must
be set to a valid value and cannot be left at 0.
The actual mode of the Resource block is OOS. See Resource block
diagnostics for corrective action.
Block is not scheduled and therefore cannot execute to go to the
target mode. Typically, BLOCK_ERR will show “Power-Up” for all
blocks that are not scheduled. Schedule the block to execute.
Block alarms will not work
FEATURES_SEL does not have Alerts enabled. Enable the Alert bit.
LIM_NOTIFY is not high enough. Set equal to MAX_NOTIFY.
STATUS_OPTS has the Propagate Fault Forward bit set. This must be
cleared to cause the alarm to occur.
