Block description

Block types
Blocks are the key elements that make up the transmitter's configuration. The blocks contain data (block
objects and parameters) which define the application, such as the inputs and outputs, signal processing and
connections to other applications. The XYR 6000 Transmitter contains the following block types.

Sensor Sensor
Each of these blocks contains parameters that are standard OneWireless transmitter defined parameters.
The Transducer and Device blocks contain standard parameters common to all ISA100.11a-compliant
transmitters as well as model-specific parameters. The radio block contains parameters for communication
with the wireless network.

4. Function blocks

Contains parameters related to the overall field device rather than a
specific input or output channel within it. A field device has exactly one
device block.
Contains parameters related to a specific process input or output
channel in a measurement or actuation device. A TB defines a
measurement sensor channel for an analog process variable
represented by a floating-point value. There is one TB per sensor.
Contains parameters related to radio communication between the
transmitter and the multimode(s).
