Foundation™ Fieldbus Parameters; Resource Block (Res) - Samson 3730-5 Configuration Manual

FOUNDATION™ fieldbus parameters
7 FOUNDATION™ fieldbus parameters
Several parameters can only be modified in certain modes (see Read/write capability in the pa-
rameter description). In this case, not the actual mode is decisive, but the target mode.
7.1

Resource Block (RES)

The Resource Block contains all the data that identify the device. It is similar to an electronic de-
vice tag. Resource Block parameters include device type, device name, manufacturer ID, serial
number as well as parameters that affect the behavior of all other blocks of the device.
Refer to page 33 for the list of parameters.
Note: All time specifications in the Resource Block are specified in the unit of 1/32 ms ac-
F
cording to the OUNDATION™ fieldbus Specification Version 1.7.
In the Device Description Library supplied by Fieldbus FOUNDATION upon which the de-
vice description of Type 3730-5 is also based, these parameters are incorrectly specified as
the unit of ms. The specified values supplied by the device are, however, always to be inter-
preted as the unit of 1/32 ms.
