View Lists
View Lists allow the values of a set of parameters to be accessed at the same time. View lists are available for the
resource and transducer blocks, and the function blocks.
Resource Block—tables 4‐4 through 4‐7
Transducer Block—tables 4‐15 through 4‐23
AO Function Block—tables 4‐26 through 4‐29
PID Function Block—tables 4‐33 through 4‐37
IS Function Block—tables 4‐41 through 4‐44
OS Function Block—tables 4‐49 through 4‐52
AI Function Block—tables 4‐58 through 4‐61
MAI Function Block—tables 4‐65 through 4‐68
DO Function Block—tables 4‐73 through 4‐76
DI Function Block—tables 4‐82 through 4‐85
Note
Views Lists are used by hosts for efficient monitoring of multiple parameters. Normally you will not be aware of view list usage, as
they are hidden by the host software.
Resource Block
This section contains information on the DVC6200f digital valve controller resource block. The resource block defines
the physical resources of the device. The resource block also handles functionality that is common across multiple
blocks. The block has no linkable inputs or outputs.
Table 6‐1. Resource Block BLOCK_ERR Conditions
Condition Number Condition Name and Description
0 Other ‐ Set if a device initialization error occurred.
1 Block Configuration Error ‐ Set if FEATURE_SEL, CYCLE_SEL, or CYCLE_TYPE is set incorrectly.
2 Link Configuration Error ‐ N/A
3
Simulate Active ‐ Indicates that the simulation jumper is in place on the aux terminals. This is not an indication that the I/O
blocks are using simulation data. See AO block parameter SIMULATE [10] and DO block parameter SIMULATE_D [10].
4 Local Override ‐ N/A
5 Device Fault State ‐ N/A
6 Device Needs Maintenance Soon ‐ Indicates a Maintenance PlantWeb Alert condition is active.
7 Input failure/process variable had Bad status ‐ N/A
8 Output failure ‐ N/A
9 Memory failure ‐ Indicates a pending Flash or NVM failure.
10 Lost Static Data ‐ Indicates failure of the memory containing static parameters
11 Lost NV Data ‐ Indicates failure of the memory containing non‐volatile parameters.
12 Readback Check Failed ‐ NA
13 Device Needs Maintenance Now ‐ Indicates a Failed PlantWeb Alert condition is active.
14 Power Up ‐ Indicates the device has been powered up and the Resource Block is not running normally.
15 Out of Service (MSB) ‐ The resource block actual mode is Out of Service.
