Function Indication  Consideration 
Schedule exceeds 
Fieldbus Link Master 
capable device's 
predefined limits for 
subschedules and/or 
sequences.   
Load errors identifying 
subschedule problems.  
Device icon turns yellow 
(LM without schedule) or 
red (bad communications). 
Most Link Master capable devices can 
only support one subschedule and 
cannot support blocks that are running 
two different macrocycles. If the 
number of subschedules and/or 
sequences in the current schedule 
(backup LAS) exceed the Link Master 
capable device's predefined limits, a 
load of the device through Control 
Builder will generate load errors 
identifying subschedule problems. In 
this case, you must reconfigure the 
device to become a Basic one through 
Control Builder, and restart the device 
to initiate the change. 
Changing  Load 
Destination (LD) 
attributes. 
The Load Destination 
attribute is automatically 
set to NOLOAD or LOAD 
for manufacturer-specific 
parameters. Users can 
edit Load Destination 
attributes for parameters 
through the Vendor tab in 
the Parameter Definition 
Editor (PDE). 
A NOLOAD attribute means that the 
associated parameter will never be 
loaded to or uploaded from the actual 
device. A LOAD attribute means that 
the associated parameter will be 
loaded to the actual device unless 
"Partial Load" is selected when 
loading.  
Do a Partial Load followed by an 
upload and update to save and 
preserve the pre-configured values in a 
device. Future loads can then be full 
loads (Partial Load not selected).  
Alternatively, do a full load (Partial 
Load is not selected) to load pre-
configure values in the Project copy 
(Control Builder) to a device, but only if 
the parameter LD attribute is LOAD.  
Factory-set calibration parameters that 
should not be overwritten should be set 
to "NOLOAD".
