Physical Block Parameter Attribute Definitions . . . . . . . page
The following table describes the parameters that are available in the physical block. Each line item in the table defines the element and specifies the requirements for each element. If a column is blank for a data element, it can be assumed that the column does not apply to that element.

| 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 |
