10.4 Device Diagnostics
Logix 3400IQ Digital Positioner Memory
The Logix 3400IQ digital positioner contains a number of areas of memory. An EEPROM provides a
non-volatile memory area for static and non-volatile parameter values. The positioner also contains
areas of RAM and ROM.
Background Diagnostics
Block objects (resource, transducer and function blocks), the communications stack and other
device objects each have a designated area of memory where their database resides. Diagnostic
routines are performed in the background during device operation which check the integrity of these
individual databases. When a failure is detected, a status bit is set in the BLOCK_ERR parameter in
the appropriate block object.
Diagnostic checks are performed continuously on the device functional databases of the Logix
application shown in Table 10.4.

BLOCK_ERR Parameter
BLOCK_ERR parameter shows diagnostic faults of hardware and software components within the
transmitter. Each block object in the transmitter device application contains a BLOCK_ERR parameter.
BLOCK_ERR is actually a bit string which provides a means to show multiple status or error condi-
tions. A status message identifying the fault can be viewed by accessing the parameter. Table 10.5
shows the bit mapping of the BLOCK_ERR parameter.
Background Diagnostics Execution, BLOCK_TEST Parameter
To verify that block and background diagnostics are executing in a particular block:
Read the first element of
BLOCK_TEST. Number should be
increasing indicating that block is
running. If block is not running,
check the second element of
BLOCK_TEST.
Read BLOCK_ERR.
Read parameters:
BYPASS
SHED_OP
Read parameters: IN.STATUS
should be set to 'good' OUT.STA-
TUS should be set to 'good'

See Sub-section 11.7 for details
on BLOCK_ERR.
The default values of these
parameters are configuration
errors and they must be set to a
valid range. See Clearing Block
