Operation Gammapilot M FMG60 with FOUNDATION Fieldbus
44 Endress+Hauser
5.6.5 Resource block
Operation
The Resource block contains the parameters used to describe physical resources of the device. It has
no linkable inputs or outputs.
The Resource block is opened by clicking the "resource" line.
If the NI-FBUS Configurator is being used, a series of file tabs appears on the screen. The files can
be opened to view and/or edit the parameters in the following table. A short description of the
parameter function appears on the side of the screen. A change in the parameter is stored by pressing
the WRITE CHANGES button when the block is out of service. Press the READ ALL button to check
the values stored in the device.
Parameter
The functions of the Resource block not described here can be found in the Foundation Fieldbus
specification, see "www.fieldbus.org".

Parameter Description
TAG_DESC User description of the intended application of the block.
MODE_BLK Lists the actual, target, permitted and normal operating modes of the block.
– Target: changes the operating mode of the block
– Actual: indicates the current operating mode of the block
– Permitted: states which operating modes are allowed
– Normal: indicates the normal operating mode of the block
The possible operating modes of the resources block are:
– AUTO: the block is operating as normal
– OOS: the block is out of service.
If the Resource block is out of service, then all blocks within the device (resource) are
forced into the same status.
RS_STATE Indicates the state of the Resource block application state machine
– On-line: block in AUTO mode
– Standby: block in OOS mode
WRITE_LOCK Indicates the status of DIP-switch WP
– LOCKED: device data can be modified
– NOT LOCKED: device data can be modified
RESTART Allows a manual restart:
– UNINITIALISED: no status
– RUN: normal operational status
– RESOURCE: resets the Resource block parameters
– DEFAULTS: resets all Foundation Fieldbus parameters within the device, but
not the manufacturer-specific parameters.
– PROCESSOR: make a warm start of the processor
BLOCK_ERROR Shows error status of software and hardware components
– Out-of-Service: the block is in OOS mode
– Simulation active: shows the setting of DIP-switch SIM
BLOCK_ALM Shows any configuration, hardware, connection and system problems in the lock. The
cause of the alert is to be seen in the subcode field.
