Index number of configuration
parameter to be read.
Select the index number of
the required parameter
from the specific function
block reference data
The block number and parameter index# will appear on the front of the RCON function Block.
Example - B:223 I:3
TIP
The main purpose of this control block is to make a block configuration parameter (constant)
available for display. To do this, you must enter the corresponding parameter index number for
the selected configuration parameter.
Select the index number of the required parameter
from the specific function block reference data and enter it in the appropriate field in
the “Read Constant Properties” dialog box.
RCON Example
HFigure 83 shows a Function Block Diagram using the RCON function block.
ATTENTION
The process variable High Range Value for a PID block (Index #4) may be displayed at the
Operator Panel with the Analog Signal Tag name TC1 PV HI, and/or the process variable may
be used as an input to another control block.
