HI_ALM: Status for high alarm and associated time stamp.
LO_ALM: Status for low alarm and associated time stamp.
LO_LO_ALM: The status for low low alarm and its
associated time stamp.
The TRANSDUCER and AI block’s MODE_BLK parame-
ter must be set to AUTO to pass the PV Value through the
AI to the network.
Transducer scaling, called XD_SCALE, is applied to the
PV from the CHANNEL to produce the FIELD_VAL in
percent. Valid XD_SCALE engineering units is limited
to the five allowable codes of meters (m), centimeters (cm),
feet (ft), inches (in), and percent (%) for the Level channels,
or gallons, liters, % for the volume channels.
The AI blocks can have a BLOCK_ERR when:
1. Channel is not set correctly.
2. XD_SCALE does not have suitable engineering units or has
range incompatibility.
3. SIMULATE parameter is active
4. AI block MODE is O/S (out of service).
NOTE: This can be caused by the Resource Block being OOS or the AI
Block not scheduled for execution.
5. L-TYPE not set or set to Direct with improper
OUT_SCALE.
The AI block uses the STATUS_OPTS setting and the
TRANSDUCER PV LIMIT value to modify the AI PV
and OUT QUALITY.
Damping Filter is a feature of the AI block. The PV_FTIME
parameter is a time constant of a single exponential filter for
the PV, in seconds. This parameter can be used to dampen
out fluctuation in level due to excessive turbulence.
The AI block has multiple ALARM functions that monitor
the OUT parameter for out of bound conditions.
4.5.2 Local Display of Analog Input Transducer Block Output
The Model 705 3x FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Device Revision
2 transmitter incorporates a feature that allows the device’s
Analog Input [AI] block Out values to be displayed on the
local LCD.
NOTE: There are many reasons that AI block Out values can deviate
from the measurement value originating in the Transducer
block, and because the keypad and local display will only pro-
vide access to Transducer block parameters, there is no way to
explore or change the other fieldbus configuration items affect-
ing the AI block output using the keypad and LCD.
