Parameter

Description

 

Profibus PA Specific Block

 

 

Header

 

16

BLOCK_OBJECT

This object contains the characteristics of the

 

 

blocks.

17

ST_REV

The modification of at least one static

 

 

parameter in a block has to be incremented

 

 

by the according ST_REV at least by one.

18

TAG_DESC

Every block can be assigned a textual TAG

 

 

description. The TAG_DESC must be

 

 

unambiguous and unique in the fieldbus

 

 

system.

19

STRATEGY

Grouping of Function Block. The STRATEGY

 

 

field can be used to group blocks.

20

ALERT_KEY

This parameter contains the identification

 

 

number of the plant unit. It helps to

 

 

identify the location (plant unit) of an event.

21

TARGET_MODE

The TARGET_MODE parameter contains

 

 

desired mode normally set by a control

 

 

application or an operator. The modes are

 

 

valid alternatively only, i.e. only one mode can

 

 

be set at one time. A write access to this

 

 

parameter with more then one mode is out of

 

 

the range of the parameter and have to be

 

 

refused.

MODE_BLK

This parameter contains the current mode,

 

 

the permitted and normal mode of the block.

23

ALARM_SUM

This parameter contains the current states of

 

 

the block alarms.
