Resource Block
General
The resource block stores device hardware information related to all function blocks in the 
same device, such as the memory size, and controls the device hardware and internal 
function blocks. Regardless of the execution schedule of the function blocks, the resource 
block runs at a certain interval.
Alarm Processing
The resource block generates a block alarm in the following cases:
❑ An error represented by a bit in BLOCK_ERROR (Table 29) has occurred (identified 
as a Block alarm).
❑ A static parameter has been written (identified as an update event).
❑ The value of a write-locked parameter has been modified (identified as Write alarm).
