Data Type: DS‐69
Valid Bits: 7: OOS, 6: IMAN, 5: LO, 4: MAN, 3: AUTO,
2: CAS, 1: RCAS
The actual, target, permitted, and normal modes of
the block.
Target: The requested block mode
Actual: The current mode of the block
(Note: Bit 6 (IMAN) is valid for ACTUAL only)
Permitted: Allowed modes for Target
Normal: Most common mode for Target

Dynamic
Data Type: Bit String (2 byte)
0=inactive
1=active
This parameter reflects the error status associated
with the hardware or software components
associated with a block. It is a bit string, so that
multiple errors may be shown. See table 4‐24.
Process Variable
PV
7 RO N/A
PV Status set equal to
READBACK status
Dynamic
Data Type: DS‐65
The process variable used in block execution. This
value is converted from READBACK to show the
actuator position in the same units as the setpoint
value.

AUTO
PV_SCALE +/- 10% Dynamic
Data Type: DS‐65
The SP of the analog block. Can be derived from
CAS_IN, RCAS_IN in normal modes, or can track PV
in MAN, IMan or LO modes. IO_OPTS is used to
determine value of SP in MAN, IMan or LO. If no
IO_OPTS for SP tracking are set, SP will freeze when
mode changes from CAS or RCAS.
Output
OUT

MAN
OOS
OUT_SCALE +/- 10% Dynamic
Data Type: DS‐65
The primary value and status calculated by the
block in Auto mode. OUT may be set manually in
Man mode.
Simulate
SIMULATE
10
Data Type: DS‐82
Allows the analog input to be manually supplied
when simulate is enabled. When simulation is
disabled, the simulate value and status track actual
value & status.

Data Type: DS‐68
The high and low scale values and engineering

determines the number of digits to the right of the
decimal point used with the value obtained from
the transducer for a specified channel.
