7.3 Transducer Blocks
7.3.1 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Transducer Blocks standard
parameters
Transducer Block, FOUNDATION Fieldbus standard parameters (all Transducer Blocks)
Parameter Description
Static Revision/ST_REV
Display
Index: 1
Data type: usigned16
Access: read only
Displays the counter for static parameters of the Transducer Block.
The counter is incremented by one with each change of a static parameter of the
corresponding Transducer Block. The counter counts up to 65535 and then starts again at
zero.
Tag Description/
TAG_DESC
Entry
Index: 2
Data type: octet string
Access: auto, OOS
Enter a description for the related block or the measuring point e.g. TAG number (max.
32 alphanumeric characters).
Factory setting:
Empty field
Strategy/STRATEGY
Entry
Index: 3
Data type: unsigned16
Access: auto, OOS
Enter user-specific value for grouping and thus faster evaluation of the blocks.
Grouping takes place by entering the same numerical value for the Strategy/STRATEGY
parameter of the block in question. These data are neither checked nor processed by the
Transducer Blocks.
Input range:
0 to 65535
Factory setting:
0
Alert Key/ALERT_KEY
Entry
Index: 4
Data type: unsigned8
Access: auto, OOS
Enter the identification number for the measuring device or for each individual block.
The control level uses this identification number to sort alarm and event messages and
initiate other processing steps.
Input range:
1 to 255
Factory setting:
0
Block Mode/MODE_BLK
Selection, display
Index: 5
Data type: DS-69
Access: auto, OOS
The Block Mode/MODE_BLK parameter is a structured parameter consisting of four
elements. The Transducer Blocks support the "Auto" (automatic) and OOS (out of service)
modes.
TARGET
• Change the block mode.
ACTUAL
• Displays the current block mode.
PERMITTED
• Displays the modes supported by the block.
NORMAL
• Displays the block mode during standard operation.
!
Note!
Measured values or information can be forwarded to an Analog Input Block via the Pressure,
Service and DP Flow Transducer Block. If the Pressure Transducer Block is set to the OOS
block mode, the Primary Value and Secondary Value continue to be updated but the status of
the downstream Analog Input Block changes to BAD.
Block Error/BLOCK_ERR
Display
Index: 6
Data type: bit string
Access: read only
Displays the warning messages and error messages of the software and hardware of the
Transducer Block in question. In addition, this parameter triggers an alarm. If two or more
messages occur simultaneously, the message with the highest priority is shown on the
display. For the Pressure, Service and Totalizer Block, see possible messages, these Operating
Instructions, Section 12.1 "Messages". The Display and Diagnostic Block do not display any
warnings or error messages.
