Parameters Index Parameter Name Description
Profibus PA Specific Block Header
Information
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.
22 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.
Magnetic Flow Meter Specific
Parameters
24 CALIBR_FACTOR This parameter is standard PA magnetic flow
parameter. Not used within 8732E device.
