processing of status.
Readback
READBACK
16 RO N/A
Status
Data Type: DS‐65
Readback is the de‐characterized valve position as
reported by the transducer block parameter
FINAL_POSITION_VALUE [17]. This correlates with
the AO block parameter OUT [9], which is the
setpoint to the transducer. READBACK is the
simulated input if SIMULATE is enabled or the
transducer block feedback if SIMULATE is disabled.

BAD:
NC:
const
Data Type: DS‐65
The setpoint value from another function block.
Value 0
Setpoint Rate Down
SP_RATE_DN
18 ALL
Positive, 0 disables
rate limiting PV units
+INF
Data Type: Float
Ramp rate for downward set point changes. When
the ramp rate is set to zero, the set point is used
immediately.
Setpoint Rate Up
SP_RATE_UP
19 ALL
Positive, 0 disables
rate limiting PV units
+INF
Data Type: Float
Ramp rate for upward set point changes. When the
ramp rate is set to zero, the setpoint is used
immediately.
Setpoint High Limit
SP_HI_LIM
20 ALL PV Scale +/- 10% 100
Data Type: Float
The highest set point value allowed. SP_HI_LIM
must be greater than SP_LO_LIM.
Setpoint Low Limit
SP_LO_LIM
21 ALL PV Scale +/- 10% 0
Data Type: Float
The lowest set point value allowed. SP_LO_LIM
must be less than SP_HI_LIM.
AO Channel
CHANNEL
22 OOS 1=Setpoint 1=Setpoint
Data Type: Unsigned16
Defines which transducer parameter receives the
AO output. Select Setpoint to control valve
position.
Fault State Time
FSTATE_TIME
23 ALL Positive, seconds 0
Data Type: Float
Time from failure detection to reaction if failure still
exists.
