3.2 Configuring the function block application process
About the Function Block Application Process (FBAP)
The transmitter has one resource block, four transducer blocks, and six function blocks
respectively. The DD-View feature supports all the 11 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 the
AI block are shown in Table 3. The following alarms are supported by each function block:

It is not applicable to the transmitter.
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.
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 transmitter.
5 Device Fault State Set If the Device Fault State condition is True.
NOTE:
It is not applicable to the transmitter.
