Simulate Active Alarms
(TB > Detailed Setup > Simulate Active Alarms)
Failed Active
Permits simulating an active Failed alarm
(FAILED_ACTIVE [59]).
Maint Active
Permits simulating an active Maintenance alarm
(MAINT_ACTIVE [60]).
Advise Active
Permits simulating an active Advisory alarm
(ADVISE_ACTIVE -[61]).
Block Error Reporting
(TB > Detailed Setup > Other > Block Error Reporting)
When enabled, the AO or DO BLOCK_ERR [6]
parameter will report PlantWeb Alerts. the same as
Block Error in the resource block.
Block Error bit 6 (Device Needs Maintenance Soon)
will report any active PlantWeb Maintenance Alert.
Block Error bit 13 (Device Needs Maintenance Now)
will report any active PlantWeb Failed Alert.
Stroking the Digital Valve
Controller Output (TB > Stroke Valve)
Stroke Valve is used to confirm proper valve
operation. From the Transducer Block menu, select
Stroke Valve. Follow the prompts on the Field
Communicator display to select from the following:
Done, Ramp Open, Ramp Closed, Ramp to Target,
Step to Target, and Stop.
Done—Select this if you are done. All ramping is
stopped when DONE is selected.
Ramp Open—ramps the travel toward open at
the rate of 1.0% per second of the ranged travel.
Ramp Closed—ramps the travel toward closed at
the rate of 1.0% per second of the ranged travel.
Ramp to Target—ramps the travel to the
specified target at the rate of 1.0% per second of the
ranged travel.
Step to Target—steps the travel to the specified
target.
Stop—stops the command.
Block Errors
Table 5-12 lists conditions reported in the
BLOCK_ERR [6] and XD_ERR [11] parameters.
Conditions in italics are not applicable for the
transducer block and are provided only for your
reference.
Table 5-12. Transducer Block BLOCK_ERR and
XD_ERROR Conditions
Condition
Number
Condition Name and Description
0 Other - (N/A)
1
Block Configuration Error - Indicates that one of the
following parameters have been configured out of the
proper range: 15, 16, 47.1, 47.2, 46.3, 46.5, 42.7, 42.8.
2 Link Configuration Error - (N/A)
3
Simulate Active - Indicates that the simulation jumper is
in place on the aux terminals. This is not an indication
that the I/O blocks are using simulation data. See AO
block paramter SIMULATE [10] and DO block parameter
SIMULATE_D [10].
4 Local Override - (N/A)
5 Device Fault State − (NA)
6 Maintenance Needed Soon - (N/A)
7 Input failure/process variable has Bad status - (N/A)
8 Output failure - (N/A)
9 Memory failure - (N/A)
10
Lost Static Data - Indicates that manufacturing functional
or thermal tests were incomplete
11 Lost NV Data - (N/A)
12 Readback Check Failed - (N/A)
13
Device Needs Maintenance Now - Indicates that
manufacturing functional or thermal tests were incomplete
14 Power Up - (N/A)
15 Out of Service - Indicates Out of Service Mode.
