PARAMETER_NAME
ROUT Timeout
SHED_ROUT
27 RW ALL Positive 640000
Data Type: Unsigned32
Time duration (in 1/32 millisecond) at which to
give up on computer writes to function block
ROUT parameters. If this time is exceeded then
the function block will change to a mode other
than ROUT based on the SHED_OPT parameter
setting. Shed from ROUT mode never happens
when SHED_ROUT is set to zero.
Fault State
FAULT_STATE
28 RO N/A
1=Clear
2=Active
1=Clear
Data Type: Unsigned8
Forces output function blocks that are not Out
of Service to the fault state condition. While this
parameter is active the output function blocks
will go to an actual mode of Local Override (LO)
and will perform their fault state actions (see
Action On Fault Detection for the output blocks
on pages 118 and 194 of this section). This
parameter is used to test the fault state behavior
that normally occurs when there is a
communication problem between devices. This
parameter is changed by the SET_FSTATE and
CLR_FSTATE parameters so long as the feature
Fault State is selected (see Feature Selection
[index number 18] in this table).
Set Fault State
SET_FSTATE
29 RW ALL
1=Off
2=Set
1=Off
Data Type: Unsigned8
Selecting Set changes the parameter
FAULT_STATE to Active. This is essentially a
“write only” parameter as it will always read OFF
because it is defined as momentary. Writing a
value of OFF has no affect. To use this parameter
the feature Fault State must be selected (see
Features Selected on page 47).
Clear Fault State
CLR_FSTATE
30 RW ALL
1=Off
2= Clear
1=Off
Data Type: Unsigned8
Selecting Clear changes the parameter
FAULT_STATE to Clear and clears the output
function blocks of the FAULT_STATE if the field
condition, if any, has cleared. This is essentially a
“write only” parameter as it will always read OFF
because it is defined as momentary. Writing a
value of OFF has no affect. To use this parameter
the feature Fault State must be selected (see
Features Selected on page 47.
Maximum Notify
MAX_NOTIFY
31 RO N/A 3 3
Data Type: Unsigned8
The maximum number of alert reports that this
device can send without getting a confirmation.
To control alert flooding, the number can be set
lower by adjusting the LIM_NOTIFY parameter
value. For DVC6200f instruments, this value is
fixed at 3.
Maximum Alerts Allow
LIM_NOTIFY
32 RW ALL 0 to MAX_NOTIFY MAX_NOTIFY
Data Type: Unsigned8
The number of alert reports that this device can
send without getting a confirmation up to the
maximum permitted in the parameter
MAX_NOTIFY. If set to zero, then no alerts are
reported.
Confirm Time
CONFIRM_TIME
33 RW ALL
> 0
Set by FCS
640000
Data Type: Unsigned32
The time (in 1/32 millisecond) the device waits
for confirmation of receipt of an alert report
before trying again.
