Revision 4 Foundation Fieldbus RMA803 Remote Indicator User's Guide

Table 32: Arithmetic block

Things to check
Read
MODE_BLOCK.PERMITTED
Read MODE_BLOCK.
ACTUAL of Resource block.
Configuration error.
Error in configuration.
Read FEATURE_SEL.
Read LIM_NOTIFY.
Recommended Action
Add AUTO mode to
MODE_BLOCK.PERMITTED.
If necessary, set
MODE_BLOCK.TARGET to
AUTO.
NOTE:
If the mode is set to OOS for
maintenance, then do not change
the mode to AUTO.
BLOCK_ERR shows the Block
Configuration Error condition,
since ARITH_TYPE is not set.
Ensure that engineering units are
correct for the computation. If
that fails, see section 3.
Reports are not selected in
FEATURE_SEL. If features do
not include reports then the host
must poll for alarms.
Set LIM_NOTIFY to a value
higher than zero, but not higher
than MAX_NOTIFY.
