Block modes

Depending on the device description, the first screen displayed may be
the Block List or a Device Dashboard menu. The Block List displays
the block tag, block type, and actual mode of the device blocks in the
connected device. It also lists an Advanced menu with additional menu
options. Consult your device manual or the Fieldbus Foundation for
more information on blocks and their functionality. F
menu trees are on www.fieldcommunicator.com as they become
available.
A Device Dashboard menu displays the same parameters as the Block
List, but they are organized by task rather than by block. Options such
as Overview, Configure, Service Tools, and Advanced may appear.
The Block List is still accessible from the Advanced option in a device
menu.
The menu items that are displayed vary because they are determined
by the device description. Refer to your device manual or
www.fieldcommunicator.com for menu trees.
To view the Block List or Device Dashboard:
1.From the Fieldbus Application main menu, double-tap Online.
2.Double-tap a device.
3.The Block List or Device Dashboard menu appears.
NOTE
If the device is commissioned, the following operations are disabled:

scheduling an I/O Block, instantiating or deleting blocks, configuring a
link master device, modifying a block tag.
