Register transducer block

The Register Transducer Block (TB 1200) allows access to Database registers and Input registers of the
Rosemount 2230 Graphical Field Display. This makes it possible to read a selected set of registers directly
by accessing the memory location.
The Register Transducer Block is only available with advanced service.
Since the Register Transducer Block allows access to most registers in the 2230, which includes the
registers set by the Methods and Configuration screens in the Level Transducer Block it should be
handled with care and ONLY to be changed by trained and certified service personnel, or as guided by
Emerson Automation Solutions/Rosemount Tank Gauging support personnel.

Normal: Most common mode for target
This parameter reflects the error status associated with the
hardware or software components associated with a block. It is
a bit string, so that multiple errors may be shown.
This alert is generated by any change to the static data
The 2230 transducer block does not support update of
BLOCK_ALM information, and it does not publish BLOCK_ALM
on segment/FF bus.
