Rosemount 3144P
FOUNDATION Fieldbus
NOTE
When an upstream block is set to OOS, it will impact the output status of all
downstream blocks. The figure below depicts the hierarchy of blocks:
Link Active Scheduler The 3144P can be designated to act as the backup Link Active Scheduler
(LAS) in the event that the designated LAS is disconnected from the segment.
As the backup LAS, the 3144P takes over the management of
communications until the host is restored.
The host system provides a configuration tool specifically designed to
designate a particular device as a backup LAS. Otherwise, this can be
configured manually as follows:
1. Access the Management Information Base (MIB) for the 3144P.
To activate the LAS capability, enter 0x02 to the
BOOT_OPERAT_FUNCTIONAL_CLASS object (Index 605). To
deactivate, enter 0x01.
2. Restart the device.
Capabilities Virtual Communication Relationship (VCRs)
There are 20 VCRs, where one is permanent and 19 are fully configurable by
the host system. Also, thirty link objects are available.
