Resource block

The Resource block is used to describe characteristics of the Fieldbus device such as the
device name, manufacturer, and serial number. The block does not contain any input or
output parameters. The block contains data that is specific to the hardware associated with
the resource. The resource block monitors and controls the general operation of the device
hardware. For example, if the resource block is in out of service mode, it affects all the
other blocks. The ITK_VER parameter is used to identify the version of the
Interoperability Tester. The transmitter's Revision and Versions, Model Number, and
Material of Construction of the meterbody can be obtained by executing the methods
available in the resource block.
The block modes are used to control major states of the resource:
•
The OOS mode stops all function block execution.
•
The Actual mode of the function blocks changes to OOS but the target mode does not
change.
•
The AUTO mode allows normal operation of the resource.

Configuring the Resource block

The Resource block supports scalar input only as HARD_TYPES. This parameter is a
read-only bit string that indicates the types of hardware that are available for this resource.
The RS_STATE parameter contains the operational state of the Function Block
Application for the data containing that resource block.

RESTART

The RESTART parameter allows degrees of initialization of the resource.

Operation
The passive state of the parameter.
Discards unnecessary alarms, and also discards the
resource dynamic values.
Resets all configurable function block application objects to
their initial value, which is their value before any
configuration is done.
Provides a way to press the reset button on the processor
associated with the resource.
