5.2 Configuring the function block application process
About the Function Block Application Process (FBAP)
The RMA803 Remote Indicator has one resource block, two transducer blocks, and seven function
blocks respectively. The DD-View feature supports all the 9 permanent blocks. The FBAP provides
the block related information in a much more organized way. The FBAP defines blocks to represent
different types of application functions.
In addition, the blocks have a static revision parameter. The revision level of the static data is
associated with the function block. To support tracking changes in static parameter attributes, the
associated block’s static revision parameter is incremented each time a static parameter attribute
value is changed. In addition, the associated block’s static revision parameter is incremented, if a
static parameter attribute is written but the value is not changed.
The FBAP supports two types of alarms: block alarms and process alarms. A block alarm is
generated whenever the BLOCK_ERR has an error bit set. The types of block error for all the
blocks are shown in Table 8. The following alarms are supported by each function block:

1 Block Configuration
error
A feature in FEATURES_SEL is set that is not
supported by features or an execution cycle in
CYCLE_SEL is set that is not supported by
CYCLE_TYPE.
You get this error if the configuration is not
complete.
2 Link Configuration error If the link is not configured properly.
3 Simulation Active The jumper or switch that enables simulation
within the resource is ON. The individual I/O
function blocks disable the simulation.
4 Local Override The block output is being set to track the value
of the track input parameter.
NOTE:
It is not applicable to the Remote Indicator.
5 Device Fault State Set If the Device Fault State condition is True.
NOTE:
It is not applicable to the Remote Indicator.
6 Device Needs
Maintenance Soon
A diagnostic algorithm has found a warning
condition. The NV memory is approaching the
maximum number of reliable writes.
NOTE:
It is not applicable to the Remote Indicator.
