6.2 Resource Block
Resource Block
Parameter Description
ACK_OPTION
Selection
Index: 38
Data type: Bit String
Access: Auto, OOS
Use this parameter to specify which process alarm is automatically acknowledged by the
fieldbus host system when it is detected. If the option is activated for a process alarm, this
process alarm is automatically acknowledged by the fieldbus host system.
Options:
• DiscAlm: write protection alarm
• BlockAlm: block alarm
!
Note!
For process alarms for which automatic confirmation is not active, the message must be
acknowledged by means of the BLOCK_ALM parameter, UNACKNOWLEDGE element.
Factory setting:
The option is not active for any process alarm, i.e. every process alarm message must be
acknowledged manually.
ALARM_SUM
Display, Selection
Index: 45
Data type: DS-74
Access: Auto, OOS
The ALARM_SUM parameter is a structured parameter consisting of four elements.
CURRENT
• Displays the current status of the process alarms in the Resource Block.
The following alarms are possible: DiscAlm and BlockAlm.
UNACKNOWLEDGED
• Displays the process alarms not confirmed.
UNREPORTED
• Displays the process alarms not reported.
DISABLED
• Possibility to deactivate process alarms.
ALERT_KEY
Entry
Index: 4
Data type: Unsigned8
Access: Auto, OOS
Enter the identification number for the measuring device or for every individual block.
The host system uses this identification number to sort alarm and event messages and initiate
further processing.

VALUE
• Displays the value of the parameter at the time the alarm was reported.
BLOCK_ERR
Display
Index: 6
Data type: Bit String
Access: Read only
Displays the active block errors.
Possibilities:
• Out Of Service: the Resource Block is in the OOS block mode.
• Simulation active: DIP switch 2 "Simulation" on the electronic insert is set to "On", i.e.
simulation is possible.
