Working with
Device Blocks
The block menu is a submenu of the block list. Block
menus display block information for the fieldbus device
to which you are connected.
If the device description is not installed in your 375 Field
Communicator, an error message will appear. New
device descriptions will be made available on a regular
basis. You can download new device descriptions to
your 375 Field Communicator if you have the Easy
Upgrade option for the Easy Upgrade Programming
Utility. See "Easy Upgrade Programming Utility" on
page 2-19 for more information.
Devices that do not support transducer block menus
within the device description will have the following
selections: All, Process, Status, Other. If methods are
incorporated into the transducer block, they will be
displayed as either Diagnostic Methods or Calibration
Methods. Tap All to display all of the parameters for the
desired block. It may take several minutes to display the
parameters. It is recommended that you use this only if
you are unable to find your desired selection elsewhere.
If the device description supports menus, you can
display the block menu by performing the following
steps:
1. Display the block list. See page 4-10.
2. Double-tap the desired block tag and the block menu
will appear.
3. From the block menu, double-tap the desired
parameter group label category.
NOTE
The Block mode must be in the appropriate state to
accept parameter changes. Typically, the mode is MAN
or OOS.
