Viewing Device Variables and Diagnostics
View Lists
View Lists allow the values of a set of parameters to
be accessed at the same time. View lists are available
for the resource and transducer blocks, and the
function blocks.
Resource Block—tables 4-4 through 4-7
Transducer Block—tables 4-14 through 4-20
AO Function Block—tables 4-25 through 4-28
PID Function Block—tables 4-32 through 4-35
IS Function Block—tables 4-40 through 4-43
OS Function Block—tables 4-48 through 4-51
AI Function Block—tables 4-57 through 4-60
MAI Function Block—tables 4-64 through 4-67
DO Function Block—tables 4-72 through 4-75
DI Function Block—tables 4-81 through 4-84
Note
Views Lists are used by hosts for
efficient monitoring of multiple
parameters. Normally you will not be
aware of view list usage, as they are
hidden by the host software.
Resource Block
This section contains information on the DVC6000f
digital valve controller resource block. The resource
block defines the physical resources of the device.
The resource block also handles functionality that is
common across multiple blocks. The block has no
linkable inputs or outputs.

Table 6-1. Resource Block BLOCK_ERR Conditions
Condition
Condition Name and Description
Number
0 Other - Set if a device initialization error occurred.
Block Configuration Error - Set if FEATURE_SEL,
1
CYCLE_SEL, or CYCLE_TYPE is set incorrectly.
2 Link Configuration Error - N/A
Simulate Active - Indicates that the simulation jumper is
in place on the aux terminals. This is not an indication
3
that the I/O blocks are using simulation data. See AO
block parameter SIMULATE [10] and DO block parameter
SIMULATE_D [10].
4 Local Override - N/A
5 Device Fault State - N/A
Device Needs Maintenance Soon - Indicates a
6
Maintenance PlantWeb Alert condition is active.
7 Input failure/process variable had Bad status - N/A
8 Output failure - N/A
Memory failure - Indicates a pending Flash or NVM
9
failure.
Lost Static Data - Indicates failure of the memory
10
containing static parameters
Lost NV Data - Indicates failure of the memory containing
11
non-volatile parameters.
12 Readback Check Failed - NA
Device Needs Maintenance Now - Indicates a Failed
13
PlantWeb Alert condition is active.
Power Up - Indicates the device has been powered up
14
and the Resource Block is not running normally.
Out of Service (MSB) - The resource block actual mode
15
is Out of Service.
Device Diagnostics
Resource Block Error
(RB > Device Diagnostics > Resource Block Error)
Block Error (BLOCK_ERR [6]) indicates an error
status associated with hardware or software for the
resource block.
Table 6-1 lists conditions reported in the BLOCK_ERR
[6] parameter. Conditions in italics are not applicable
for the resource block and are provided only for your
reference.
Device State
(RB > Device Diagnostics > Device State)
Device State (RS_STATE [7]) indicates the state of
the function blocks. Four states are possible:
d
Initialization —The instrument enters this state
upon restart or failure. The function blocks are in
