block in question is a control block, mode
transitions of the PID block to CAS occur in the
following sequence due to initialization of the
cascade connection: RCAS or ROUT → AUTO
→ CAS.

A8.18 Alarms

There are two kinds of alarms generated by a PID
block: block and process alarms.
A8.18.1 Block Alarm (BLOCK_ALM)
The block alarm BLOCK_ALM is generated upon
occurrence of either of the following errors (values
set in BLOCK_ERR) and notifies the content of
BLOCK_ERR.
Value of
BLOCK_ERR
Input Failure IN.status of the PID block is either of the
following:
• Bad-Device Failure
• Bad-Sensor Failure
MODE_BLK.target of the PID block is O/S.
Out of Service

A8.18.2 Process Alarms

There are six types of process alarms. Only one
process alarm can be generated at the same time,
and the process alarm having the highest priority
level from among those occurring at the same
time is generated. The priority level is set for each
process alarm type.
Process
Cause of Occurrence
Alarm
HI_HI_ALM Occurs when the PV increases
above the HI_HI_LIM value.
HI_ALM Occurs when the PV increases
above HI_LIM value.
LO_ALM Occurs when the PV decreases
below the LO_LIM value.
LO_LO_ALM Occurs when the PV decreases
below the LO_LO_LIM value.
DV_HI_ALM Occurs when the value of [PV -
SP] increases above the DV_HI_
LIM value.
DV_LO_ALM Occurs when the value of [PV
- SP] decreases below the DV_
LO_LIM value.
