Status options

Status options (STATUS_OPTS) supported by the AI block are shown below:
Propagate fault forward
If the status from the sensor is Bad, Device failure or Bad, Sensor failure, propagate it to OUT
without generating an alarm. The use of these sub-status in OUT is determined by this
option. Through this option, the user may determine whether alarming (sending of an alert)
will be done by the block or propagated downstream for alarming.
Uncertain if limited
Set the output status of the Analog Input block to uncertain if the measured or calculated
value is limited.
BAD if limited
Set the output status to Bad if the sensor is violating a high or low limit.
