2.5.4 Simulation
Simulation is the functionality of the AI block. There are two ways to simulate values as
follows:
Procedure
1. Change the mode of the block to Manual and adjust the output value.
2. Enable simulation through the configuration tool and manually enter a value for the
2.6

Resource block

This section contains information on the Resource Block. It includes descriptions of all
Resource Block parameters, errors, and diagnostics. It also discusses the modes, alarm
detection, status handling, and troubleshooting.
2.6.1 FEATURES and FEATURES_SEL
The FEATURES parameter is read only and defines which host accessible features are
supported by the transmitter. See the Specifications section of the Rosemount 3051S
Product Data Sheet
Use FEATURES_SEL to turn on any of the supported features that are found in the
FEATURES parameter.
UNICODE
All configurable string variables in the transmitter, except tag names, are octet strings.
You may use either ASCII or Unicode. If the configuration device is generating Unicode
octet strings, you must set the Unicode option bit.
REPORTS
The transmitter supports alert reports. You must set the Reports option bit in the features
bit string to use this feature. If it is not set, the host must poll for alerts. If this bit is set, the
transmitter will actively report alerts.
SOFT W LOCK and HARD W LOCK
Inputs to the security and write lock functions include the hardware security switch, the
hardware and software write lock bits of the FEATURE_SEL parameter, and the
WRITE_LOCK parameter.
The WRITE_LOCK parameter prevents modification of parameters within the device
except to clear the WRITE_LOCK parameter. During this time, the block will function

measurement value and its status (this single value will apply to all outputs).
In both cases, first set the ENABLE switch on the field device.
With simulation enabled, the actual measurement value has no impact on the OUT
value or the status. The OUT values will all have the same value as determined by the
simulate value.
