refers to Travel Lo Alert Point, Travel Hi Alert Point, Travel Lo Lo Alert Point, and Travel Hi Hi Alert Point in table 4‐79.
Travel Alert Deadband refers to Travel Lo Alert Deadband, Travel Hi Alert Deadband, Travel Lo Lo Alert Deadband, and
Travel Hi Hi Alert Deadband in table 4‐79.

Field Value Processing
The Invert bit of the IO_OPTS [13] parameter may be used to logically invert the value of FIELD_VAL_D [17] before it is
stored as PV_D [7]. PV_FTIME [16] may
be used to set the length of time that FIELD_VAL_D [17] must be in a new state before that new state is reflected in
PV_D. The PV_D [7] value goes to the mode switch where it becomes OUT_D [8] when the actual mode is AUTO.
OUT_D [8] is also tested for an alarm state.
Note
Invert is the only I/O option that the DI block supports. You can set the I/O option only when the block mode is Out of Service.
