Working with
Device Blocks
The Block Menu is a submenu of the Block List. Block
menus display block information for the fieldbus device
to which you are connected.
The Block Menu is also available under the Advanced
option in a device menu.
Devices that do not support transducer block menus
within the device description will have the following
selections: All, Process, Status, Other.
If methods are incorporated into the transducer block,
they are displayed as either Diagnostic Methods or
Calibration Methods.
Tap All to display all of the parameters for the desired
block. It may take several minutes to display the
parameters. It is recommended that you use this only if
you are unable to find your desired selection elsewhere.
Display the Block Menu
If the device description supports menus, you can
display the Block Menu by performing the following
steps:
1. From the Live Device List, double-tap a device to
display the Block List. See page 4-10.
2. Double-tap the desired block tag. This displays the
Block Menu.
3. From the Block Menu, double-tap the desired
parameter group.
NOTE
The block mode must be in the appropriate state to
accept parameter changes. Typically, the mode is MAN
or OOS.
Parameter Functionality
Shaded areas indicate values that cannot be changed.
You can edit only the resource, transducer, and I/O
blocks. You can open and view all other blocks,
however, you cannot edit them.
