2=Locked
1=Unlocked
Data Type: Unsigned8
If set to Locked, no writes from anywhere are
allowed except to clear WRITE_LOCK by entering
Unlocked. Block inputs will continue to be
updated if they are subscribers. The feature Soft
Write Lock must be selected to enable writing to
this parameter (see Device Features in this
section).

1=Acknowledged
2=Unacknowledged
0=Undefined
Data Type: DS‐73
This alert is generated by any change to the
static data. To support tracking changes in static
parameter values, the blocks static revision
parameter will be incremented each time a
static parameter value is changed. Also, the
blocks static revision parameter may be
incremented if a static parameter is written but
the value is not changed. If the Actual Mode is
not Out of Service and Reports is selected in the
Feature Select parameter, then this parameter
will be sent to the host system providing the
host has set up alert communications. Changes
to static data while the block is Out of Service
will be reported when the block transitions to
another mode.

UNACKNOWLEDGED 36.1 RW ALL
0=Undefined
1=Acknowledged
2=Unacknowledged
0=Undefined
Data Type: DS‐72
This alarm is generated by a nonzero value in the
Block Error. parameter. This alarm has a fixed
priority of 2. For a BLOCK_ALM to be broadcast
to the host the following conditions must be
met:
The feature Reports must be selected
Alert communication with the host must be
setup
In the ALARM_SUM parameter, the disable bit
for Block Alarm must be clear.
